Remote Access Tools Guide

What are Remote Access Tools?

Remote Access Tools (RATs) are software applications that allow a user to control a computer or network from a remote location. They are commonly used for legitimate purposes like IT support but can also be exploited for malicious activities.

How Remote Access Tools Work

Remote Access Tools work by establishing a connection between a client (the controller) and a server (the target). The client sends commands to the server, which executes them and sends the results back to the client.

Remote Access Tools Techniques

Here are some common techniques used in Remote Access Tools:

• Screen Sharing: Viewing and controlling the target's screen in real-time.
• File Transfer: Uploading and downloading files between the client and server.
• Keylogging: Recording keystrokes on the target's computer.
• Remote Execution: Running commands or scripts on the target's computer.

• Enable 2FA: Add an extra layer of security to your accounts.
• Restrict Access: Limit remote access to trusted users and IP addresses.
