# Vanta RAT Overview

#### You:
what is vanta.st aka vanta rat aka adam rat aka vantarat.st

#### ChatGPT:
The names **vanta.st**, **vantarat.st**, **Vanta RAT**, and **Adam RAT** appear to refer to the same project: a **Remote Access Trojan (RAT)** - malware designed to give an operator remote control over infected computers.

A RAT can provide capabilities such as:

- Remote desktop access.
- File upload/download.
- Command execution.
- Credential theft.
- Keylogging and screen capture.
- Persistence mechanisms to survive reboots.

The term **"Adam RAT"** seems to be an alternate name or alias used by some communities, but there is very little reliable public documentation about the developers or history of the project. Most references are from forums and discussions rather than security vendors or academic analyses.

### Is it legitimate software?

No. A RAT is generally categorized as malware when used without the informed consent of the computer owner. Security products commonly detect and block such tools because they can be used for espionage, credential theft, and unauthorized control.

### About the domains

- **vanta.st**
- **vantarat.st**

These names have been associated online with the project, but I was unable to find authoritative information confirming ownership, legitimacy, or safety. Because malware operators frequently change domains and infrastructure, I would recommend treating files, installers, and links associated with these names as potentially unsafe.

### If you encountered it

If you have:

- downloaded an executable,
- installed it,
- or suspect your machine has been exposed,

I can help you:

- determine whether the file is malicious,
- check indicators of compromise,
- remove it safely,
- or analyze a sample or screenshot you have.
