Minimum Requirements for RATs? - conrad - Mar 10, 2012

What are the realistic minimum system requirements for using remote access tools? I'm looking at getting an old laptop only for hacking and was wondering what I could get away.

No Min requirements but I suggest you have a decent speedy laptop and not a old rusty one :D, And whats your laptop system info? RAM, Hard drive, ect... and OS.

I haven't got one yet. I'm still looking on ebay for one for hacking. Can you suggest a rough spec I should be considering? is there anything essential I should look for as far as hard drive or ram? I won't be using it for anything else. I don't want to go overboard but I want it to do the job.

I suggest you just buy a cheap netbook for ratting :)

I have 4 computers 2 brand new Toshiba Laptops Win7 and 1 WindXP that is fast as fuck and a Vista all in one touch screen all to my self + a galaxy tab 10.1 and you know something? I love the XP for ratting! I run my VPN and everything on my desktop and browse my personal things on my vista RAT on my Toshiba's also (with different VPNS) and just fuck around on my other one.

I suggest:
At least 1GHz Processor
At least 512MB RAM
At least 1GB Free disk space
At least Windows XP SP3
Internet Connection.
You will have to install .NET Frameworks most likely.

If there is no requirements, tell me how do I run a RAT on 1KB RAM and 2KB disk space? 🤦‍♂

Cheers, thats great, should be able to pick something up pretty cheap at that spec. And the great thing is that I won't mind throwing it out of the window if theres a sudden knock at the door 😉

Or just put important stuff on memory card, or encrypt drive with truecrypt [Image: qsHqo.png]

Honestly your internet connection speed is more important than your computer specs.

Get a PC with atleast 512mb RAM for Windows XP or 1gb RAM for Windows Vista/7.
And atleast 64mb of VRAM.

If its a too old PC when you have more bots or when try out some features it may crash or lag.

I don't think that there are any requirements :S
