IRC is a Internet Relay Chat mainly used for group communication or discussion.

Some IRC Clients:

A back door is a means of access to a computer program that bypasses security mechanisms. A programmer may sometimes install a back door so that the program can be accessed for troubleshooting or other purposes. However, attackers often use back doors that they detect or install themselves, as part of an exploit. In some cases, a worm is designed to take advantage of a back door created by an earlier attack. For example, Nimda gained entrance through a back door left by Code Red.

Whether installed as an administrative tool or a means of attack, a back door is a security risk, because there are always crackers out there looking for any vulnerability to exploit. In her article "Who gets your trust?" security consultant Carole Fennelly uses an analogy to illustrate the situation: "Think of approaching a building with an elaborate security system that does bio scans, background checks, the works. Someone who doesn't have time to go through all that might just rig up a back exit so they can step out for a smoke -- and then hope no one finds out about it."

root is the highest form of access you can get on a *nix system. "root" is the name of the user who can control everything on the entire computer. We call this the "super user."

DoS (Denial of Service Attack) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service Attack) Are attacks that make your system not respond or crash the system itself. It can cause consumption of bandwidth, disk space, and processor time, Also disruption of information and network components

Some DoS attacks:

An exploit is an attack on a computer that takes advantage of a vulnerability on a system.
