RAT

RAT stands for remote access trojan, which is software that gives a person full control over a computing system remotely. Although RATs have some legitimate uses, such as in the case of technical support needing to access a system they support remotely, RATs can also be used by attackers with malicious intent. In the context of NodeZero, a RAT is used to provide NodeZero with additional access to systems to further explore attack paths during operations.
