Remote Control Over Networks 2

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 pest uses "backdoor" abilities to gain the intruder a completely invisible access to your PC. This dangerous pest was created by a hacker called ZaJoker from a group called XLegacy INC. The origination date is December 1999.
