Internet TCP port 31337 is infamously associated with the Back Orifice remote administration tool, which was developed by the hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow. This software allows for remote system administration and unauthorized access, often used maliciously. Additionally, some online games may use this port for network communication. However, its primary association remains with the Back Orifice software.
TCP port 31337 has a notorious history in the realm of cybersecurity. It was infamously exploited by the Back Orifice program, a remote administration tool created by the hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow. The tool was designed to allow remote control over a Windows operating system, while remaining hidden from the user. Hackers would use this port to install the tool on unsuspecting users' systems, gaining unauthorized access and control. This exploitation led to significant security breaches, data theft, and system damage. As a result, port 31337 is often blocked by firewalls and security software to prevent such intrusions.
