Spymaster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Spymaster is a ringleader of a spy ring, run by a secret service.
Historical examples include Sir Francis Walsingham, William Wickham, George Washington, William Stephenson, Dai Li, Count Ignatiev, Joseph Peters and the so called "Spymaster's Spymaster" Markus Wolf.
Spymaster is also a section found in Boy's Life magazine that shows different methods of coding messages. A short book was made containing an assortment of codes and their history, including Morse code.
[edit] SpyMaster (RAT)
SpyMaster is the name of an open-source RAT (Remote Administration Tool) written in VB by Feky, for Windows XP/2000 operating systems. The latest version - 1.3.5 has been released at the end of November, 2006 It's a simple client-server program, where the attacker uses the graphical client application to control the server.
The server's port can be changed remotely. The server stores the new settings in an encrypted file. SpyMaster 1.3.5 can control the remote user's printer,so you can print messages in different font and size,set how many pages you want to print on,set if you want underlined,bold or/and italic font. It even works with network printers. You can play a tic-tac-toe game with the victim, and you can do stuff like: changing start button text,playing melodies on the internal speaker,locking/unlocking the computer,empty recycle bin,set volume,bouncing message,disable/enabled task manager and folder options,etc.
There is a function to monitor the changes of the server's clipboard text (when he/she copies some text). You can clear the clipboard,set new clipboard text or simply turn on/off the real-time clipboard monitoring.
For silent installation,there is a firewall bypass routine that makes the server application silently bypass the WinXP firewall. It adds itself to the allowed applications list,even if you can't see that if you open the firewall settings - just by viewing the registry.
Unfortunatelly, you will require the MSWINSCK.OCX control in order to run SpyMaster.
