According to Bitdefender, BitRAT is a notorious remote access trojan (RAT) marketed
on underground cybercriminal web markets and forums. Its price tag of $20 for
lifetime access makes it irresistible to cybercriminals and helps the malicious
payload spread.
Furthermore, each buyer’s modus operandi makes BitRAT even harder to stop, considering
it can be employed in various operations, such as trojanized software, phishing
and watering hole attacks.
BitRAT’s popularity arises from its versatility. The malicious tool can perform a wide
range of operations, including data exfiltration, UAC bypass, DDoS attacks, clipboard
monitoring, gaining unauthorized webcam access, credential theft, audio recording,
XMRig coin mining and generic keylogging.
