MoonPie

A Remote Administration Tool is a special kind of hacker malware, used for remote access and control of other people's PCs. The attacker infects the PC via the e-mail or File and Print Sharing. A "server" allows him to connect via a "client" on his own machine. The functions of a RAT may vary, depending on the needs of the hacker. Some RATs can't really harm your PC and the only purpose they were made for is hooliganism. But some versions can steal vital information, remove files and even crash your computer. MoonPie is a big RAT trojan family. As the number of the version grows, so does the danger of infection and the amount of damage that can be done by this pest. Many variants appeared during the period from October 2000 to June 2002. The author is a German hacker called Simon Moon. The RAT was created using Delphi applicationming language.
