What is:Creepware/ms

Apakah "Creepware"

Creepware (juga dikenali sebagai trojan akses jauh atau RAT) adalah Perisian jahat yang dipasang pada peranti mangsa tanpa pengetahuan mereka dan membolehkan penyerang mengakses dan mengawal peranti yang digodam (komputer, tablet, komputer riba, telefon pintar atau peranti lain, sebagai contoh, IoT - Internet perkara) dari jauh.

RAT akronik boleh menjadi singkatan untuk Remote Access/Administration Trojan (trojan dengan fungsi akses/pentadbiran jauh), dan Alat Akses/Pentadbiran Jauh (alat untuk akses/pentadbiran jarak jauh). Perbezaan antara alat capaian jauh dan trojan akses jauh adalah yang dipasang secara rahsia dan digunakan untuk tujuan haram dan/atau jahat, sementara alat akses jauh digunakan untuk tindakan yang dibenarkan dan untuk tujuan yang sah, seperti dukungan teknis, yang menghubungkan ke rumah Anda atau komputer tempat kerja semasa perjalanan, dan lain-lain

How creepware works

Creepware uses a model of work called client-server, but it distorts the usual idea of how this model works, i.e. when a user connects to a server that provides some kind of service. In the case of creepware, the victim's device becomes a server, and the attacker's device works as a client. The "service" provided to the attacker are information or unauthorized actions on the victim's device.

What are the features of creepware?

Creepware provides the attacker with access to the following elements on a compromised device:

• files;
• processes and services;
• clipboard;
• network connections;
• registry;
• connected peripherals (printers, webcams, audio recording devices, etc.).

In addition, creepware allows the attacker to remotely monitor the compromised device, namely:

• keep a log of keystrokes pressed;
• take screenshots of the screen;
• record video from the connected webcam;
• record audio from the connected microphone;
• steal passwords;
• download and upload files from/to the device;
• open web pages;
• display messages on the screen;
• play audio messages;
• reboot or turn off the compromised device.
