Proxy: Any firewall that blocks and re-creates a connection between two points. As a defensive tool, a proxy in an organization hides a user from the outside world. As a pest, a proxy hides an attacker from a user. As a pest, a proxy is a tool that can be used to anonymize a connection between an attacker and your machine, making the connection more difficult to trace. The attacker interacts with the proxy; the proxy translates the interaction and interacts with your machine. As attack tools, SMTP and FTP proxies are often used in conjunction with Firewall Killers, Downloaders, RATs, and Trojans.

Backdoor: A secret or undocumented means of getting into a computer system, or software that uses such a means to penetrate a system. Some software has a backdoor placed by the programmer to allow them to gain access to troubleshoot or change the program. Software that is classified as a "backdoor" is designed to exploit a vulnerability in a system, and open it to future access by an attacker.
