A lot of people have the misconception that their antivirus and firewalls do not have influence over your ports.

There is also a lot of confusion over what Internet Provider offers port forwarding, or allow it to begin with - or even WHICH ports are allowed specifically.

I am going to try and go over the most basic yet simple and working methods for port forwarding.

Method 1

Add your RAT to your firewall exception list



Step 1: Go to your start menu, and type in Firewall, or Allow

(Firewall / Allow a program through Windows firewall)

Step 2: Simply browse for your program (DarkComet, BlackShades, Cybergate as examples) and add it to your firewall exception list from here. Ensure that you have clicked the Home/Network (Private) AND the Public check-mark areas. This will ensure you can (sometimes, depending on router) test on your own network, and ensures it will work for unknown connections (People you will be infecting).


Method 2

TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL

I personally do not even use a firewall.

Quite self explanatory.



Follow the blue links on the side for directions on turning off your Firewall. Be sure to leave Public on, just in case (like me) you have a Laptop for hacking and wish to RAT at Starbucks or library networks.


Method 3

Port Forward using your ROUTER.

Everyones router is going to be different, there are a number of ways to address this issue.

You can try portforward.com who will provide you with a walkthrough for your router brand (be sure you have your model and information ready).

You can also try port forwarding software.



This is my router, yours may not be the same.

As you can see, you simply add your port number (that you choose to use, it can be almost any port) and click the Save button.

Most portforwarding tutorials that I've ever seen always include going into cmd and typing ipconfig to look bad ass h@x0r.

Well that's not really necessary, as your router usually has this information on it already; anything left out should be on google.
