## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
