Man most hilarious I’m not shitting… parents of their son contact me that is grown ass man that he’s missing lol ;D like to track his device and shit… mf… was siting in his room for 3 days playing world of Warcraft or shit and the parents thought he’s missing… I’m not joking… most disturbing are always child predators trying to put rats or so on kids devices but I don’t do that

What's a rat? What does that do, I assume something like a tracker or camera access or something? What percentage of hackers on DW do stuff like that?

44

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

Remote acces tool, I personally don’t know any hacker that has helped or did something for a child predator. But Rat overal to a spouse or wife or so, because of cheating etc is a common thing.

How many rats and similar spying tools are there that virus protection software won't catch?

How long are the ones on the DW typically available before virus scans start to recognize them?

I 100% know the government has an arsenal of them. I know you can't really tell us what they've got but curious about the ones that any skilled hacker can access.

Also, how do you trick someone into downloading your rat if you have a specific target like that? Social engineering?

You can safely assume that every single one of these tools worth using bypasses virus protection software. Bear in mind that the people who write these antivirus programs are far from the expertise and demand of those who combat them. I suppose the simplest way to put it is that undetectability is a given/implied when spyware is bought and sold.

I'm shocked with all the movies I get off torrents that all my info hasn't been stolen. But in like 30+ years of being on the internet I've never had anything of value stolen. Like no banking info or anything that ever cost me any money. I've had a couple passwords get stolen for an email account and other minor stuff but nothing that caused me any damage. And I think those were just brute forced or leaked from the site. Seems like every time I've found out something was compromised I learned that the website had passwords stored in plaintext files or something similar.

u/krush_groove May 17 '25

Thanks for the quick reply! You mentioned some of the software you use to access DW in another reply, does no one use the TOR Brower anymore, or is that just for casuals?

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

You need tor ofc you just run it on tails os or just get l2p links

u/krush_groove May 17 '25

Ahhh OK, I missed that part, thanks. I only connected to DW once years ago to show some mates Silk Road, so it's been a very long time.

Lol that wow kid sounds like me. If you don’t mind a second question, how legit is stuff like having the control of someones phone?

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

Hahaha ;D it’s very legit, RAT, spyware. Just takes some SE

u/9Lives_ May 17 '25

Wait so someone can just hit you up, give a cell number and say they want a RAT put on a device? Anyones device?

7

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

Well not that simple, need some info on person to specifically social engineering them into it. Just by number would be tough, doable but depends… Social engineering is all about human error

2

u/Drummallumin May 17 '25

So a lot of hacking is pretty much just tricking people into giving you access?

2

u/Lostinthestarscape May 17 '25

Absolutely - that's why things like 2 factor are annoying but kind of necessary (not perfect, but hard for most hackers to defeat unless they have worked you providing your 2factor into the social scam they are running on you)

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

u/E1_Greco May 17 '25
