A '''backdoor''', in computer terminology, is a programmed exploit that permits remote access into a [[Computers|computer]] system, usually at a level of total control.
#REDIRECT [[Command Navigation Program#Backdoors]]
 
Backdoors can be compared to the keys for the locks on the doors of your home. A burglar could attempt to smash his way into your home, which is the way that some virus attacks work. Or, a smart burglar could obtain copies of your keys, and use the key to open the way into your house as you would.
 
Backdoors were installed by a [[Number Six|Cylon agent]] in [[Gaius Baltar]]'s [[Command Navigation Program]] which permit the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] to remotely deactivate ships during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], allowing them an easy victory against their creators on the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]].
