Raven

This is a Remote Administration Tool that is used by hackers to control the victim's machine remotely. The possibilities of such application depend on the needs of the attacker. 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 pest was created with only one purpose - to spy on victim by logging his keystrokes. The author of this dangerous application is a hacker called Kristen Tande from a group called FobiaSoft Security Software. The pest is written in Delphi applicationming language. Several versions appeared in the internet from January 2003 to May 2003.
