## What it is
ToRat is a cross-platform remote administration tool written in Go that uses the Tor network as its transport mechanism and RPC for communication between server and clients. It provides a shell-based server for managing multiple connected clients with file transfer, screenshot, network scanning, and other post-exploitation commands.

## Use cases
- manage remote machines over tor anonymously
- cross-platform reverse shell c2 server
- educational remote administration tool
- post-exploitation command and control in red team labs
- control multiple clients through tor hidden services
- screenshot and file transfer from remote hosts

## When to choose
- you need a tor-based C2 for authorized penetration testing or security education
- you want a cross-platform (Windows/Linux/macOS) remote administration client in Go
- you prefer anonymized transport to hide server infrastructure

## When to avoid
- you need a legitimate enterprise remote management solution with auditing and compliance
- you require a maintained tool with active development and support
- unauthorized use - it is designed for educational purposes only and misuse is illegal
