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. It creates a "backdoor" in the security computer of the victim, allowing the intruder to connect completely unnoticed. This RAT was created by a hacker called Evilgoat. Several variants appeared in the internet from January 2000 to April 2004.
