Ratware
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ratware is a fairly new term that is used to refer to the underlying software used by mass-mailers (another equivalent word is spammers) to achieve their objective of delivering large amounts of email in a short span of time.
Ratware (spammer’s software) is capable of providing false or inaccurate information in SMTP dialogues with the intent to impersonate, evade detection and spoof.
Ratware is most often installed on Zombie computers through means of malware such as viruses, worms and trojan horses.
