How to hide RAT from task manager?

Hello. I am fairly new to ratting and I only know the basics to it like crypting and port forwarding to setup the rat. I am wondering if there is any way to hide the rat I have created from the victims task manager. I am trying to not let my rat show up so its not obvious. Is there anything I can do to hide this? Anything would help me, thanks :).
I assume that

A. You have the source code (or can edit the stubs code in some way) to this rat

B. Your okay with loosing the client every time they open task manager

C. Have some FUD watchdog program to keep the task alive after they close task manager

Assuming all these conditions are met it should be fairly simple
A rootkit would do the trick.

100% d) also you can inject it into any legit process.
the simplest solution is to make your RAT kill itself every time task manager is open.
then start your RAT again using windows task schedule.
It's very simple and basic.

What do you mean with "using windows task schedule"? How can it detect that taskmanager is closed?
You can always give it a legit name and icon, and no one will suspect :)

True, I always name my stub "svchost" and everytime they look in taskmanager they never find it lol
you guys make me paranoid...

Does any RAT has this feature? Or is it more like a crypter feature?
The rat should be programmed as a driver

Drivers can't be installed without being digitally signed.

Ahh Thanks never knew that. But I believe you can disable it

It's just an idea, you can code it as a rat feature or crypter feature. It's simple yet efficient
