A back door into a network refers to what?

A.
Mechanisms created by hackers to gain network access at a later time

B.
Monitoring programs implemented on dummy applications to lure
intruders

C.
Undocumented instructions used by programmers to debug
applications

D.
Socially engineering passwords from a subject

Explanation:
Back doors are very hard to trace, as an intruder will often create
several avenues into a network to be exploited later. The only real
way to be sure these avenues are closed after an attack is to restore
the operating system from the original media, apply the patches,
and restore all data and applications.
* social engineering is a technique used to manipulate users into revealing information
like passwords.
* Answer “Undocumented instructions used by programmers to debug
applications”refers to a trap door, which are undocumented hooks into an application to assist
programmers with debugging. Although intended innocently, these can be
exploited by intruders.
* “Monitoring programs implemented on dummy applications to lure
intruders” is a honey pot or padded cell.

decoy for intruders. Source: Fighting Computer Crime by Donn B.
