How to prevent your anarchy server from being backdoored?

[Kiljaeden053]

Hi! Can backdoors be prevented by simply not allowing assholes online to do the work on plugins for you that they can use to backdoor your server? Or there is something else that can be used to backdoor using minecraft glitches that is unprevented/difficult to fix and your server becomes backdoored.

Yes (that is the definition of backdoor - coders creating exploits in the code for their personal gain).

In that case, the problem is not "backdoor", but rather "cheating/hacking" (depending on whether the situation happens in-game or on your server). There are anti-cheat plugins that you can use to prevent the former.
