Quasar is a powerful and versatile Remote Administration Tool (RAT) used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access and control over compromised systems. Originally developed for legitimate remote administration purposes, Quasar has since been repurposed by malicious actors to conduct a wide range of cyber attacks.
Quasar is typically spread through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. Once installed on a victim's system, it establishes a covert connection to a remote command and control (C&C) server, allowing attackers to execute commands, steal sensitive data, or deploy additional malware.
Quasar is known for its extensive feature set, including keylogging, screen capture, file manipulation, and webcam hijacking, providing attackers with comprehensive control over compromised systems.
Quasar targets a wide range of victims, including individual users, businesses, government agencies, and critical infrastructure providers. Its capabilities make it particularly attractive to cybercriminals seeking to steal sensitive information, conduct espionage, or disrupt operations.
Due to its customizable nature, Quasar can be adapted to suit various attack scenarios, making it a significant threat to cybersecurity worldwide.
The original developer of Quasar intended it for legitimate remote administration purposes. However, the tool has since been widely adopted by cybercriminals, and its exact origins are difficult to trace.
Quasar is often distributed through underground forums or sold on the dark web, making it accessible to a wide range of threat actors. While the identity of the creators remains unknown, various hacker groups and individuals continue to develop and distribute versions of Quasar, perpetuating its threat to cybersecurity.
