PentagonRat, also known as PentaRat, is a powerful remote access tool (RAT) used by cyber attackers to gain unauthorized control over compromised systems. This RAT enables complete manipulation of files, software installations, and execution of commands remotely. It facilitates surveillance by logging keystrokes, accessing webcams and microphones, and capturing screenshots to monitor user activities covertly. Additionally, PentagonRat allows attackers to steal sensitive information such as credentials and personal data stored on infected machines. Deployed through phishing attacks or malicious downloads, PentagonRat poses significant risks to both individuals and organizations, underscoring the importance of robust cybersecurity practices including regular updates, endpoint protection, and user education on detecting and mitigating malware threats.
