Background

AsyncRAT is a Remote Access Tool (RAT) built to watch and operate other machines remotely over an encrypted connection. Although it is an open-source remote administration utility, it lends itself to malicious use because it ships with capabilities such as keylogging, remote desktop control, and numerous other functions that can damage a victim's computer. AsyncRAT can also reach targets through a variety of delivery channels, including spear-phishing, malvertising, and exploit kits.
