Answer 1

The Black Codes were laws passed on the state and local level in the United States to restrict the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans, particularly former slaves.

The Black Codes stated that black people could not own dogs, could not own land, and could not wander. They could, however, get married.

Black Codes are most commonly associated with the adopted in the Southern states after the American Civil War until the beginning of Reconstruction to regulate the freedoms of former slaves. The Black Codes developed over the span of half a century or more and may date to the early 19th century in some Northern states.

Answer 2

Sounds like hacker talk to me. You'd use Black Code to access places that are otherwise safe from prying eyes (and people who want to get better grades!). Don't know if there's a single program called Black Code...
