# Mini-RAT

Mini-RAT is a remote access tool designed to remotely monitor and control other
computers through a secure encrypted connection. This project takes heavy
inspiration from ![AsyncRAT](https://github.com/NYAN-x-CAT/AsyncRAT-C-Sharp).

## Installation and Deployment

This project is split into two subprojects: the server (mratd) and client
(mrat). Both the server and reference client requires OpenSSL, but only the
server requires POSIX threads.

The mratd server needs to run a master control server that all clients have
access to, either on the Internet with port-forwarding or on the local network.
The clients need to be running on each machine the administrator needs access to
and configured to connect back to the control server.
