Remote Administration Trojans, also known as RATs, are the most popular type of Trojans today. This type of Trojan allows the creator or who is using it to access the victims are there and perform many functions on your computer. These RATs are very easy to use, coming in a two file package a server file and a client file. If you can have the opportunity to run the server file, resulting in obtaining your IP address, you will get full control of your computer. These Trojans may also be binding on other programs that appear to be justifiable. Remote Administration Trojans in a general sense open a port on your computer and themselves to it. What they are really doing is having the server file listen for incoming connections and data coming through these ports. Once someone runs their climax program and enters the IP address of the victims, the Trojan starts receiving commands from the attacker and executes them on the victim's computer.
