This repository contains the source code for a basic Remote Access Tool (RAT) implemented in C. The RAT consists of two main components: a client-side program (socket.c) and a server-side program (server.c). It enables remote command execution on a target system over a network connection.

• Client-Server Architecture: Utilizes TCP sockets for communication between the client and server.
• Command Execution: Allows the server to execute commands on the client system remotely.
• Persistence: Implements a persistence mechanism to ensure the client program runs on system startup.
• Keylogging: Provides basic keylogging functionality on the client system.

• socket.c: Client-side program written in C for Windows platforms. It establishes a connection with the server, handles command execution, and implements persistence and keylogging functionalities.
• server.c: Server-side program written in C for Unix-like systems. It listens for incoming connections from clients, receives commands from the client, and executes them.
• keys.h: Header file containing the keylogging functionality used by the client program (socket.c). It captures keystrokes and stores them in a log file.

• Compilation:

  • Compile socket.c for Windows using a suitable compiler (e.g., Visual Studio).
  • Compile server.c for Unix-like systems using GCC or another compatible compiler.

• Execution:

  • Run the compiled socket executable on the client system.
  • Run the compiled server executable on the server system.

• The server can send various commands to the client, including:
  • cd <directory>: Change directory on the client system.
  • persist: Establish persistence on the client system.
  • keylog_start: Start keylogging on the client system.
