While I'm here, does anyone know of a good trustworthy RAT for Windows machines that I can control from my Linux box? I have some relatives for whom I provide technical support. I'd love to just put an EXE on their desktop that would launch a VNC session and connect back to me (since they have the typical NAT + firewall of home users), but I don't want to install a virus on their machines.
- ngneer 3y agoNot sure what your decision procedure is for "a virus" versus "trustworthy RAT", but there are plenty of open source options out there, in case that helps, https://medevel.com/18-os-rat-list/ https://medevel.com/18-os-rat-list/
- popcalc 3y agoAnydesk?
- olivierduval 3y agoAFAIK, solutions like TeamViewer or AnyDesk may be securely connected from the outside and manage the NAT+firewall of home user... no need to have a RAT (in the "virus/backdoor" meaning)
- genpfault 3y agoTor + ssh onion service?
- avidiax 3y agoPut Tailscale on their machines and use a normal remote desktop application (probably the built-in RDP). Or put a RaspberryPi with Tailscale on their network. Just make sure you set the key for those clients to not expire.
- gerdesj 3y agoOpenVPN, IPSEC, Wireguard can all be used to tether them to you. If you don't have a static IP then a dynamic DNS service can fix that. Once you have a VPN then use whatever you fancy - RDP for example. You could use Teamviewer or the like. Self host a MeshCentral or RustDesk (MC for me!)
