Is it possible to remove the app icon in Task Manager? - naxster - Apr 6, 2019
Hello guys!
I'm trying out something new with some RAT's and i'm trying to bind a picture file into a .exe file.
I added a icon through ResourceHacker, to make it more look like a picture, even though it's an .exe file.
Anyway, when i launch the RAT, i can still see the icon on the Task Manager which makes it very suspicious.. Is there a way to modify/remove something so that the icon of the picure doesn't shows up in Task Manager?
Is there a way to make it to a non-icon??
Here is a picture of what i mean:

This is may be a little complicated but there is two ways to achieve this.
1. Use no icon for the RAT and use a downloader and make it download the RAT and only change the downloader's icon.
2. If you have access to the source you could make it copy itself to a directory and wipe the icon of that copy and launch the no icon copy.
If you have no knowledge of programming I would do the first option.

I tried the first option, but the icon still shows up in the task manager :/
I used this downloader, works great:

Does the downloader exit on download and run?
Download should have an icon.
RAT shouldn't.
