A Swedish hacker has been discovered trying to sell a new, undocumented remote access tool (RAT).

Dubbed Blackremote by researchers at Palo Alto Networks, the RAT has been promoted by the hacker on dark web forums since last month. The hacker, who uses the handles Speccy and Rafiki, has also posted YouTube videos with instructions for setting up his RAT.
The YouTube description included a link to his personal site. The video is marked private.

"It also included the claim ‘this rat is fully runtime undetected’ and a link to ‘purchase FUD crypter’. There is no legitimate reason for this software to need to be ‘undetectable’ or ‘crypted’. Rather, such efforts are intended to prevent detection by antimalware software," said researchers.

Matt Aldridge, senior solutions architect at Webroot, told SC Media UK that organisations must not rely upon any kind of signature based or rules-based detection for malware and ensure that they are using next generation anti-malware which uses behavioural based detection of this type of Remote Access Trojan.
