This RAT application was created to disturb the work of IRC channel users. The virus infects victim's machine just like a simple trojan virus. A "server" application secretly installs itself in the computer, allowing the hacker to connect via a "client" on his PC. Once connected he gains full control over the infected PC and the information stored in it. This particular version also has "flooder" abilities. The attacker can create a DOS attack by fast pinging etc. The author is MIRC Co. Ltd. This version was released in February 2003.
