Python RAT with a Nice Screensharing Feature

Description

A Python Remote Access Trojan (RAT) with advanced capabilities, including a notable screensharing feature, has been discovered. The RAT, based on a two-year-old script, has a low detection rate on VirusTotal. It offers numerous functions to control the victim's computer, such as shell access, webcam control, and registry manipulation. The screensharing feature utilizes the 'vidstream' Python library, enabling real-time viewing of the victim's screen. A proof-of-concept demonstrated the RAT's ability to stream the victim's screen to the attacker's computer. This exemplifies Python's growing popularity among attackers for creating sophisticated malware, even for Windows environments.
