Today I am going to introduce "Remote Administration Tools". These are generally called RATs, They have a murderous bite. RATs form an entire class of hacking including trojan infections, backdoors etc. But to go further, we need to clear up the basics concepts first,
(Backdoor is something that gives the attacker access to the victim’s system without their knowledge)
What’s a RAT?
RAT stands for "Remote Administration Tool".
It is mostly used for malicious purposes, such as controlling remote Computer, stealing victims data, deleting or editing some files....during the time of desktop sharing and remote administration activities.
How to spread it?
RATs can spread over -
-File sharing services (Torrents, mostly..),
-Messenger or at the time of chatting ,
-By email spams ,
-It may be send to you by hiding it behind other software/application.
Could a antivirus catch a RAT?
The answer of this question is "Yes" . Actually, Anti-virus treat it as a virus.
But this problem has a solution – Encryption.... Bind the program in .zip or .rar therefore antivirus can't detect it .

some RATs are legal, and some are not.
