There are many different types of RATs, but those that run on Windows computers are common. paradoxiaRAT is one of them.
Windows Remote Access Trojans (RATs) are a class of malicious software typically installed on the victim’s computer through a variety of means, such as exploiting a vulnerability in an application or tricking the victim into clicking links in spam email messages. Once installed, the RAT gives the attacker the ability to control and monitor the infected computer remotely.

Example Usage
- Run Paradoxia
sudo python3 paradoxia.py
- Once in paradoxia Console, The first step would be to build the Client, Preferably with an Icon.
- After that’s built, As you can see below it is detected by Windows Defender as a severe malware. Which is expected since it IS malware.
- I’m going to transfer the client on a Windows 10 Virtual machine and execute it. After Executing it, It appears under Startup programs in task manager.
- Also it has copied itself inside Appdata directory and installed under the name we specified during build.
- First thing I’d do is get in the session and view information.
- There are plenty of things we can do right now, but for example only, I will demonstrate keylogging.
You can see in the image above that It says it successfully injected dll, And in file listing there is a file named log.log
, Which contains the logged keystrokes.
- Lets view captured keystrokes.
