Poison Ivy

Hi friends happy to catch you all again and asusual back with a new concept. Yes, today you gonna see about RAT. This not the thing that disturbs usally at all home and not the thing chased by TOM every time, rather this concept threw an idea of poison ivy mechanism. What is poison ivy...?

The methodology of administrating a remote system using the free ports available is the basic outline. To get closer to this idea need to use some technical terms so catch out gooaling habit mean while...

RATs that utilize reverse connection have a few major advantages, such as the ones listed below.

Outgoing connections generally are less treating, and are less likely to be detected or blocked by a firewall, such as a router.

Since the victim's computer is connecting to the remote administrator, he or she will not need to know the victim's IP address in order to connect.

The remote administrator does not need to know to which or how many computers the RAT is being installed on, which allows for mass-distribution.

If mass-distributed, it is much easier to keep track of the computers the RAT is installed on, since they are all "calling home" by connecting to the remote administrator.

RAT Trojan Horses

Many trojans and backdoors now have remote administration capabilities allowing an individual to control the victim's computer. Many times, a file called the server must be opened on the victim's computer before the trojan can have access to it. These are generally sent through email, P2P file sharing software, and in internet downloads. They are usually disguised as a legitimate program or file. Many server files will display a fake error message when opened, to make it seem like it didn't open. Some will also kill antivirus and firewall software. RAT trojans can generally do the following:



Download, upload, delete, and rename files

Format drives

Open CD-ROM tray

Drop viruses and worms

Log keystrokes, keystroke capture software

Hack passwords, credit card numbers

Hijack homepage

View screen

View, kill, and start tasks in task manager

Hide desktop icons, taskbar and files

Print text

Play sounds

Randomly move and click mouse

Record sound with a connected microphone

Record video with a connected webcam

Some RAT trojans are pranks that are most likely being controlled by a friend or enemy on April Fool's day or a holiday. Prank RATS are generally not harmful, and won't log keystrokes or hack. They usually do disruptive things like flip the screen upside-down, open the CD-ROM tray, and swap mouse buttons. However, they can be quite hard to remove.
