Backdoor

Categories: Tech

To go in the back door (um...no) is to go around the usual and more noticeable way...i.e. the front door.

In the world of technology, this refers to ways of going around the normal authentication process of a computer or device. Sneaking in the back door of the system, so to speak. Think "hacker" in this case.
