basicRAT

This is a cross-platform Python 2.x 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 (a bit buggy since crypto change)
  • 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
