Direct Connection

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 RAT was created by a hacker called Snapman. Several variants appeared from December 2000 to January 2004. The application has a "keylogger" feature. It logs every keystroke, done by the user and sends the collected data to the intruder. It also notifies the attacker via the e-mail, when the infection is performed successfully.
