RemoteRat is a Java-based Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that allows attacker to monitor and control client machines. This project leverages a client-server architecture and offers features such as screen sharing, camera access, keyboard control, and more. It is designed for legitimate system administration, research, and educational purposes only.

Important Disclaimer
This project is provided for educational and administrative use cases only. Unauthorized or malicious use is strictly prohibited. The user bears full responsibility for any legal consequences arising from misuse of this software, and the author disclaims all liability.

• Remote Screen Sharing
  View and interact with the client’s screen in real-time.

• Camera Access
  Stream and capture webcam feeds from the client machine.

• Keyboard Control
  Send keyboard input to the client machine for remote operations.

• Command Execution

  • Command Prompt interaction
  • Shell command execution
  • Shellcode execution

• Notification System
  Send customized notifications or messages to client machines.

• Data Retrieval

  • Extract browser cookies
  • Retrieve QQ data

• File Management
  Browse and manipulate files on the remote system.

• Client Management
  Add or remove client connections through a centralized interface.

• Operating System: Primarily Windows
• Java Development Kit (JDK): Version 17 or higher
• Build Tool: Maven

1. Clone or Download the Repository
   Obtain the source code for both the Server and Client components.

2. Open with Maven
   Navigate to the project directory where pom.xml is located.

   cd RemoteRat
   mvn clean install

   This will download required dependencies and build both modules.

3. Run the Server

   cd Server
   mvn exec:java

   The server will start listening for client connections on the configured port.

4. Deploy and Run the Client

   • Copy the Client module JAR to the target machine.
   • Execute the client JAR, ensuring it can reach the server’s IP address and port.

• Start the Server
  Launch the server on the administrator’s machine. A management interface should become available for monitoring and controlling connected clients.

• Run the Client
  On each target machine, run the client application. Upon successful connection, the server interface will display all active clients.

• Perform Remote Operations
  From the server UI, select a connected client to:

  • Initiate remote screen sharing
  • Toggle camera access
  • Enable keyboard control
  • Execute system or shell commands
  • Send notifications
  • Browse or manage files (TODO)
  • Extract browser cookies and QQ data (TODO)

This tool is capable of potentially invasive operations (e.g., camera streaming, file access). Below are general guidelines and references for analyzing such software:

• Security Tools & Sandbox Testing
  Run in a controlled environment to prevent accidental or unauthorized access.

• Antivirus/EDR Considerations
  Certain antivirus or endpoint detection systems may flag or block the JARs due to remote administration functionalities.

• Educational Use Only
  This project is intended solely for learning and administrative oversight of systems you own or have explicit permission to manage.

• Legal Compliance
  Ensure you comply with all relevant laws and regulations when deploying this software. The author disclaims responsibility for any misuse.

• Potential False Positives
  Because of its nature, some security products may detect or quarantine the binaries. Operate in a secure, isolated test environment whenever possible.
