You cannot find it in the rule book, cuz it is a word used to describe a "real rule book" term, the BBW. It is kind of like how they use the term lateral for a backwards pass.
When someone refers to a crack back block, they are referring to a block by a receiver back towards the location of the ball which is usually against a defensive end or outside linebacker. It is a block that needs to be seen as it may often be illegal if they go low and then you have the BBW, which they are calling an illegal crack back block.
