Ok, I am (admittedly) confused when trying to understand how the crypter interacts with the original RAT server file. I have this feeling that it 'covers' the original file and doesn't adopt the properties of the original file...but I am not so sure.

So, here is my question:

When you crypt a server file to make it FUD, when that file is opened by a slave, does the encryption allow the server file to pass through the AV layer, then self destruct and leave the original server file to do it's thing?

Example: if you were to chose 'melt' and 'add to startup' in the crypter settings, is that referring to the crypted layer and not the original server file or does choosing 'melt' and 'add to startup' make the original server file melt and added to startup?

Man, I don't feel like I am explaining this well, at all.

Um...

Does the original server file become an entirely NEW file that combines it's properties and the encryption as well or are they still two distinctly different files that are combined to join forces?

G'damn, if I could just understand this then I would know exactly what settings to use in building the RAT server file and then in the crypter.

Does anybody know what I am talking about or am I just as insane as my screen name suggests?

So, if the crypter is of good quality then there is little or no need to select melt, persistence, or startup options when making the server file? That if I select 'melt' and 'starup' during encryption, those options will stay with the file until....well, until the file is dead?

[Crazy Ralph]

Start up and persistence should be selected though, without start up the slave would dissapear when he restarts his computer and persistence makes it harder to remove the file.

I am using DP (Data Protector) and it doesn't have a persistence option, only startup. Would it be a good idea for me to select 'persistence' in DC when I am building my server file or would that corrupt the file after it's crypted? Thanks for your help, by the way. Damn, it's nice to figure this stuff out 👍

You've had DataProtector for around a month at least Crazy Ralph, If you still haven't figured out how to use it pm me and I will show you exactly how to set everything up with your Rat step by step.

Ok cool. Thanks. I appreciate it, northman.
