## What it is
Stitch is a cross-platform Python Remote Administration Tool (RAT) framework for building custom payloads for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides post-exploitation features like keylogging, screenshots, file transfer, and password dumping over AES-encrypted communication, intended for education and authorized penetration testing.

## Use cases
- build custom cross-platform RAT payloads for pentest labs
- run a keylogger on a target machine during an authorized engagement
- take screenshots and webcam snapshots from a compromised host
- dump saved Chrome passwords and system password hashes
- upload and download files to and from a target system
- detect virtual machines and antivirus on a target
- establish an AES-encrypted reverse shell connection

## When to choose
- you need a Python-based, cross-platform RAT for education or authorized red-team exercises
- you want a payload builder with keylogger, screenshot, and file transfer capabilities
- you need AES-encrypted C2 communication in a lab environment

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained C2 framework
- you want a tool with a legitimate license for commercial use (license is non-standard)
- you lack explicit authorization to test target systems
- you need stealth against modern EDR/antivirus

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, reverse-engineering, http-client
- domain: security, penetration-testing, cross-platform
- platform: python, windows, cross-platform
- tags: rat, remote-administration, keylogger, reverse-shell, payload-builder, post-exploitation, red-team, macos, linux
