You can call the server "Client-Server", but not the f**king client!
I'm not flaming the new people, you guys were just mislead I was when I first started.
And since most of you are stubborn, maybe seven things will cause some information to leak in.
Clients connect to the Server.

I agree with you. This is very irritating.

People get it confused because of the whole host booting thing. Sam, Split, etc called their bot a server. Confusing everyone.

Exactly, that's how I was mislead when I first got into that stuff.

Only idiots would fall for that... Oh wait I'm on hackforums.
Obviously if you're hosting something what's on your end will be called a server, what's on the client's end is called the client.

So a victim of a rat does not have a server on their pc they have a client... if so I have been confused for years...

I could kind of understand the logic on the new reverse connection RAT's where the 'server' on the attackers computer is listening for connections. But what about on the old fashioned ones where you put in an IP address and connect? On them the malware listens for connections and the attacker sends it, surely meaning he is the client.

That is called trojan. It's actually the non reverse-connection RAT. Program that sends commands is server while your victim is client.

totally agree. but lets not forget the original sens of the words client & server:
in a restaurant for exemple, the client ask for food, the server gets him food.
client requests, server answers.
so even with a reverse connexion for exemple, even if you are the server listening for clients, they can technically still can be called servers, cuz they are surving you with infomations you'r asking, and executing cammands you'r sending.
