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. This dangerous virus is based on a very well known NetBus RAT tool. It was created in Assembly applicationming language and the source is included. It means that anyone who knows Assembly can modify this pest to suit his personal needs. The RAT has worm-like abilities and that makes even more dangerous. It will try to infect as many unprotected PCs as possible. The pest originated in March 2000.
