PySilon is an open-source remote access trojan (RAT) written in Python that is controlled through Discord as its command-and-control channel. It includes a GUI builder for generating the payload and supports features like keylogging, screenshots, webcam capture, credential/token grabbing, UAC bypass, and persistence.

Use cases

• study how Discord-based RATs operate
• analyze keylogger and stealer malware behavior
• build defensive detections for Discord C2 malware
• demonstrate remote access trojan techniques in security training
• research UAC bypass and persistence techniques
• capture malware samples for sandbox testing

When to choose

• you are a malware analyst or security researcher studying RAT behavior
• you need a reference sample for building antivirus or EDR detections
• you are teaching offensive security concepts in a controlled lab

When to avoid

• you intend to deploy it against machines you do not own - this is illegal
• you need a legitimate remote administration tool for managing your own systems
• you want production-grade or supported software
