🐭 mouseRAT

Overview

mouseRAT is a minimalist Remote Access Tool (RAT) developed for personal educational purposes, focusing on:

• Network programming fundamentals
• Command and Control (C2) development concepts
• Computer Network Operations (CNO) tooling

This project is part of my personal learning journey in security software development and offensive security engineering.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This tool is created solely for educational purposes.

• Do not deploy mouseRAT on any machine you do not own or have explicit authorization to test.
• Unauthorized use of this software against systems you do not control is illegal and unethical.
• The developer assumes no responsibility for any misuse or damage caused by this tool.

🛑 Ethical Positioning

This project is:

• Designed for personal education to deepen my understanding of networking, sockets, and CNO tooling.
• Not intended for deployment in production environments or offensive engagements (nor is it likely to bypass standard network defenses).
