Description
(SentinelLabs) SparkRAT is a RAT developed in Golang and released as open source software
by the Chinese-speaking developer XZB-1248. SparkRAT is a feature-rich and multi-platform
tool that supports the Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.
SparkRAT uses the WebSocket protocol to communicate with the C2 server and features an
upgrade system. This enables the RAT to automatically upgrade itself to the latest version
available on the C2 server upon startup by issuing an upgrade request. This is an HTTP POST
request, with the commit query parameter storing the current version of the tool.
