redrat

redrat is a remote access trojan (RAT) that allows an attacker to gain unauthorized control over a victim's computer. It is typically distributed through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or infected websites. Once installed, redrat can perform a variety of malicious actions, including stealing sensitive information, logging keystrokes, accessing the webcam, and executing commands remotely.

The functionality of redrat often includes features such as file management (uploading, downloading, deleting), process management (listing, terminating), and system information gathering. Attackers can use redrat to monitor user activity, spy on communications, or use the compromised machine as a stepping stone for further attacks.

Security researchers have identified various versions and mutations of redrat, indicating its continuous development and adaptation by threat actors. Due to its capabilities, redrat is considered a significant threat to individual users and organizations. Antivirus software and strong cybersecurity practices, such as caution with email attachments and suspicious links, are essential for protection against such malware.
