Xeno-RAT is an open-source remote access tool (RAT) written in C# for remotely controlling Windows 10/11 machines. It includes features such as HVNC (Hidden Virtual Network Computing), live microphone capture, screen control, keylogging, a Socks5 reverse proxy, file/process/registry managers, and a client builder.

Use cases

• remotely administer windows machines over a network
• hidden virtual network computing sessions on a remote host
• capture live microphone audio from a remote computer
• tunnel traffic through a socks5 reverse proxy to bypass network restrictions
• monitor remote screen and control it in real time
• build a custom client executable with selected settings
• manage files, processes, and registry on a remote system
• study rat techniques for security research and defense

When to choose

• you need a free, open-source RAT with HVNC for authorized red-team or security research on Windows
• you want a self-contained remote administration tool with surveillance, proxy, and system management features
• you are studying malware/RAT behavior to build detections

When to avoid

• you need a legitimate enterprise remote-desktop or MDM solution for production environments
• you cannot ensure legal authorization for controlling target machines
• you need cross-platform support beyond Windows 10/11
• you require audited, hardened security tooling rather than a hobbyist project
