Argus – Tool Rat and keylogger using Python

As in previous posts, Anonyviet guided about How to create a Keylogger in basic Python and use some Tool Rat. Currently, on Github, there is a complete user of Keylogger and Rat using only Python and is very easy to use. And today I will show you how to use the Argus tool!

What is Rat?

A Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is a type of application that allows a hacker to monitor and control the victim’s computer or network, thereby exploiting and stealing the user’s personal data and stealing the location, environment, and data. the environment around you and the vast amount of information on your computer and network.

The fact that hackers use Rat for the wrong purpose will have appropriate consequences and the possibility of detection is also high because modern security programs can now detect Rat very easily.

What is keylog?

Keystroke logging or Keylog is a user-generated piece of code capable of recording all keystrokes and actions. Most use keylog to manage computers as well as ensure data is not lost, but there are still cases where keylogs are used to steal social network passwords or even personal information and bank cards.

Keylogs can exist in many different forms including malicious applications or hardware devices can also be keylogs. Also keyloggers can reside in smart electronic devices and tend to be in mobile devices or IoT gadgets.
