Victims
A short beep sounded out in the room before a person slowly stirred in his bed. Unhappily, he threw his cover, as he tried to get up. Man, I’m tired as fuck. He yawned as he took his cozy swivel chair and checked which message had awoken him.
“Hey man, do you want to know what I got?” Read the message from ‘WhoAmI337’, the offender who disturbed his sleep. His only response at that was groaning as he tried to comprehend why his friend thought that it would possibly interest him.
“Are you awake?” A message minutes thereafter.
“Get up! LUCAS1” Another. Are you my fucking mom?! Lucas screamed in his mind as he massaged his forehead because he knew he would get a headache later.
He did not want to delay anymore further, so he, with a frown, wrote a response to his friend ‘WhoAmI337’. “What’s so important that you must wake me up? Are you fucking with meß1”
“
I bought a RAT from the Darknet! 8=)” Lucas really wanted to close the Skype app because of his annoying friend, instead, he typed, “how much. Fuck I don’t care. Did you test it?”
“
Yeah Its functional1” Read the response. Are you that happy to tell me this?! Already he regretted his decision not to close the app. Shit, I will just sleep in class.
“Do you want it?
” As he read that message, he had the urge to really strangle ‘WhoAmI337’.
Is he lying? And did he really buy it? Shit, I will just ask him if it’s FUD. His decision final, “is it fud?”
“Ofc
” He could already see his friend’s smug smile behind the short message.
Before he could type again, he saw the ZIP file sent by his friend. A short cursor movement, he clicked on the download button. Minutes later, he tried to unzip it, but the file asked him after a password. Are fucking with me?! Son of a bitch! In fury, he assaulted his keyboard. “password1111”

“Eh. Ups. It’s just your name in small letters. Rofl” After Lucas ‘thanked’ his friend, he unzipped the file and took a look at the files in the folder. There it is. jRAT.exe
Without wasting a second thought he started the executable which showed a window where he found the functions he could take on an infected computer and the build button for the server. Wait. No alert? Alright, it seems he is right. Although he found it strange that his Anti-Virus did not alert him, he forgot soon about it and he slowly got to work on the configurations of the RAT. After the initial configurations he built his server with minimal configuration so that he could test it on his computer without damage, or so he thought.
Successfully tested, he explored the options he had for building a server. Install locations. Rootkit. Nice! Persistence. A must have. FUD crypting! Wow he didn’t lie. What’s that? PDF exploit. Google is my friend.
While he explored and tested each option, a message from Gerry popped up. “He got me. -.-” That player got him too?! Fucking cheater! He got me in one blow!
“Tell u in school.” Another popup. Hmm… It should have the keylogger function. Yes, there it is. Heh. We could hack the fucker, but how should we do it? Perhaps I could use my female alt char ingame to catfish him and then? How do I send him a trojan? He wouldn’t believe my char, but if I could show him a real female facebook profile… Yeah, that would work! Gerry should be onboard.
A short glance at the clock on his desktop showed him that he should hurry before he will be late at school. Shit, I need to hurry up!
He let his computer in standby mode while he ran to school as if the devil was after him.

Back at home again, Lucas took something to eat out of the fridge while he thought about which port he should choose. Ah, well, I will just go with 1337. After he finished eating he went to his room and woke his computer from the standby mode. Wait, my IP is dynamic. I need a static IP. Come Google show me the way. “No-IP Domain IP”, as he queried the search engine, the first hit gave him an intriguing answer to his problem. He then went to the website and registered himself there with a domain name. He also downloaded the tool that should update the domain name every moment when he got a new leased IP.
Everything should be configured. So now it’s build time. Install location will be 1337 folder in %appdata%. Rootkit check. Persistence, too. FUD crypting. Yes. PDF exploit. That too.
After successfully building the trojan he sent a message to Gerry with the trojan file.
Now I wait.
Meanwhile in an orderly room with cute arranged plush animals there sat a girl on her computer who was messaging her friends.
“I really hate math. T_T” Another message from Gerry. She ignored her other chats and focused only on the chat with Gerry. Her heart was beating so fast that she could hear it, while she felt that her face was heating up. Finally a long conversation! H-he should be interested in m-me, r-right?
She hesitated a little bit as she made up her mind. “Me, too
I even don’t understand the homework he gave us :’(” I did my homework but it would be awkward if I say that I did it. Hopefully, he doesn’t think that I am dumb like these bitches who are orbiting around him. Hmph!
“Really? Luckily, I’ve done them with the help of a friend. I can give mine to you if you want.
” His? Yes, yes, yes. Another thing to cherish! While she was in a merry mood, a pop up with a pdf file named ‘IhateMathHomework’ was sent to her. She blushed as she accepted the download and after that clicked on the PDF file. In the background, her Avira Anti-Virus did already scan the file as she downloaded it. It did not find anything suspicious.
Fuck yeah. I got a victim! Hehe. Let’s see what she got? In the user interface of the RAT, there was a pop up with the message, “connection established.” It showed the IP from Germany.
Before he could test the keylogger function, he got a message from Gerry. “I sent her the pdf file under the pretense of math homework. What happens if she sees that it’s not it?”
“Easy. Just say you sent the false pdf. Even then it should give an error msg.” He answered Gerry as he opened the keylogging function and saw what the girl so typed.
“Did it work?” Yeah, yeah. Of course, it will work! Pussy!
“Yeah.” He sent a short message to him as he concentrated on his task to lure the enemy player with his female alt into the trap. Show me how desperate you are for just a ‘girl’. You will certainly masturbate on her nude photos, eh? Loser.
