The Remote Access Trojan (RAT), a Legacy Product at a Mass Market Price - SecBI
The Remote Access Trojan (RAT) can almost be considered the "legacy" tool of hackers. The RAT is a malware program that uses a back door for administrative control over the targeted computer. As such, RATs are used for "low and slow", prolonged, stealthy operations such as APTs. Using this malicious technique, the attackers take their time to explore the victim's networks and assets, and then move around as quietly as possible to achieve their objectives without detection. Some APTs have been in operation for years and RATs play a crucial part in enabling attackers to access targets while avoiding detection.
