Summary

In this chapter, we began by learning about socket programming and then learned about how we can use sockets to create a network application. Our network application included a hacker and victim program, which helped us to send Windows system commands from a Linux-based hacker program, execute them on Windows, and get the results back to the hacker. We also learned how to navigate the file stream as well. Our basic version of the RAT is complete. Even though it is limited in its functionalities, it gives us a solid understanding of the basics to create a far more advanced malware program. In the next chapter, we will add some more features to our RAT, such as transferring files. See you in the next chapter!
