Python-RAT

A remote access trojan virus project made with Python for ethical hacking cybersecurity class

Important Notes

• This was made a fun project, not for any malicious purposes

• This only works on other computers that are on the same network

• For all the custom commands, you will be able to execute them no matter what operating system the attacker is using. However, there may be some compatibility issues depending on which OS the victim is using (which will be specified)

Setup

Please note that when the words attack and victim are mentioned, attack refers to Listen.py and victim refers to client.py

1. In the client.py file, (which is the file you will be distributing to the victim computer) set the variable set_private_ip to the attack computer private ip address

   • This can be found by running the findPrivateIP.py file    

2. If you would like the client.py file to start up every time the victim computer powers on, the uncomment line 497 (the file that calls the start_up() function)    

How to use

1. Now the setup for the client.py file is done. Just execute client.py on the victim computer. Also note that if the victim computer doesn't find the attack computer to connect to impatiently, it will just restart and keep looking    
2. After you get the client.py running on the victim computer, run the Listener.py file on the attack computer. You will be prompted to enter a port to scan. The one the client file is using is 4444 so just enter that.
3. Once the connection is established, you will get a prompt to Login with a password. This is just for security in case someone else was to connect to the victim computer that you don't want. The default password is Test (Case sensitive). Feel free to change it on line 324 of the client.py file
4. After that, you can enter the help command for more information on the commands you can run

Additional features included

• This includes a built-in keylogger with custom commands

• (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE KEYLOGGER WILL ONLY WORK WHEN THE VICTEM IS ON WINDOWS)

  • To inject the keylogger onto the victem computer, just type keylogger start. Now the keylogger will run on the victim computer as long as the client.py file is running (even if you are not connected to their computer)    

  • You also run keylogger get to download the collected keystrokes from the victim computer. It will get saved as a text file in your current directory as log.txt    

  • To stop the keylogger from ever running on the victem computer again, just run keylogger end

• Type the command lock to lock the victems work station

• Type clipboard get what the victem currently has copied on their clipboard

• Type download to download a file from the victem computer onto yours. Please note that this feature still is a bit buggy. This feature is also currently only available for when the VICTEM computer is on windows

• Type speak (any text of your choice) and the text-to-speech translator will say the text out loud on the victim computer. This feature is also currently only available for when the VICTEM computer is on windows

• Type wifi pass to get the most likely wifi passwords on the victim computer. However, this doesn't really serve too much of a purpose since you will have to be on the same network to connect to their computer This feature is also currently only available for when the VICTEM computer is on windows

• Type shutdown and cshutdown to cancel and start a shutdown of the victem computer. This feature is also currently only available for when the VICTEM computer is on windows

• Type pubip to get the public IP address of the victem computer

• Type quit to stop the connection

• Also, right after the connection is established and you log in, it will show you the public ip, os, and the username of the victim computer
