About RATs ... A Look at the Problem of SubSeven and "Remote Administration Trojans"
Overview A Remote Administration Tool, or RAT, is a Trojan that when run, provides an attacker with the capability of remotely controlling a machine via a "client" in the attacker's machine, and a "server" in the victim's machine. The server in the victim "serves" incoming connections to the victim, and runs invisibly with no user interface. The client is a GUI front-end that the attacker uses to connect to victim servers and "manage" those machines. Examples include Back Orifice, NetBus, SubSeven, and Hack'a'tack.
