New Python RAT Features Screensharing Capability

/ 1 min read

New Python RAT Discovered with Screensharing Feature. A recently identified Python Remote Access Trojan (RAT) showcases a unique “screenshare” capability, leveraging the outdated yet effective “vidstream” library. Although the script has been available for two years and has a low VirusTotal score of 3/64, it still poses a significant threat by allowing attackers to control victims’ computers and capture their screens. A proof-of-concept demonstration highlights the ease of use and effectiveness of this tool in both Windows and Linux environments.
