RATs! Remote Management Software from the Hacker’s Perspective | Huntress

Huntress published a Tradecraft Tuesday recap focused on remote management software (RMM) abuse, including hunting techniques, persistence methods, and the relationship between RMM functionality and command and control capabilities. The post explores how attackers leverage legitimate remote access tools for malicious purposes.

Why it matters: Security teams need to understand RMM abuse tactics and detection methods because attackers routinely abuse legitimate remote management software for persistence and lateral movement in compromised environments.
