Beast

Beast is a remote administration tool (RAT) that was first released in the early 2000s. It is designed to provide remote control over a target computer, allowing the attacker to execute commands, access files, capture keystrokes, and perform various other actions without the user’s knowledge or consent. Although originally created for administrative purposes, Beast and similar RATs are often misused for malicious activities such as spying, data theft, and unauthorized control of compromised systems.

Important Note: Beast, like many remote administration tools, can be used for both legitimate and malicious purposes. However, it is primarily known for its association with illegal activities, such as unauthorized access to computers, data theft, and privacy invasion. Unauthorized use of Beast to access or control another person’s computer without their explicit consent is illegal and punishable under computer crime laws. It is critical to use such tools responsibly and legally, ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and ethical guidelines. If you suspect your system has been compromised by a RAT, it is essential to run a full antivirus scan, disconnect from the internet, and seek professional cybersecurity assistance.
