A Remote Administration Tool is a special kind of hacker spyware, used for remote access and control of other people's computers. The attacker infects the PC via the e-mail or File and Print Sharing.

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, delete files and even crash your system.

He wrote the RAT in Visual C++ programming language. The origination date is June 2002. You may also find this pest in the internet under such name as NetControl.Advertiser BOT.
