Sounds like SubSeven.

I commented on using Back Orifice but Sub7 was another one we used.

If I remember correctly BO didn't have a GUI until they (Cult of the dead Cow) updated it to BO2k so it was easier for us kids to use Sub7.

BO surely did have a GUI! Sub7 was dark and sleek though, while BO had a messy office-like look.

Thanks, it's been so long I probably just forgot what software we were using that was only command line.

I had a folder with a lot of these with virus that I could play with, it was fun, until my sister selected and executed all of them...

Or NetBus.

Yeah, I got sent that by someone when I was a teenager. Good thing my ISP blocked incoming ports (not a good thing when I found out that HTTP servers exist, but with all the nuking that went on in the 90s, probably for the best overall).

Yep that was the one I remember.
