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. A "server" allows him to connect via a "client" on his own machine. The functions of a RAT may vary, depending on the needs of the hacker. 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. This pest uses "backdoor" abilities to gain the intruder a completely invisible access to your computer. This pest was created by a hacker called TomKat. 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.
