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. The author of this pest is a hacker called XDenSer. The pest was written in Delphi applicationming language. It originated in September 2002. It affects such operating computers as Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP. This particular RAT needs no "client" software to work. The intruder can connect to the infected PC using a browser.
