I am an absolute noob trying to figure out how rats work.

I downloaded AsyncRAT from https://github.com/NYAN-x-CAT/AsyncRAT-C-Sharp.

Then I started up 2 VPS running Windows 10 - one to act as the server and the other one as the client. I turned off all Windows Security and Firewall features on both machines.

Then I ran AsyncRAT.exe on the server. It created a new certificate and I clicked OK. Then I started AsyncRAT and control window popped up. I checked using canyouseeme.org to see that the listed ports (6606, 7707, 8808) were all open.

Then I copied the stub to the client machine and ran it as administrator. But nothing happened. No clients appeared on the AsyncRAT control window on the server machine.

I feel like I missed some steps. Like I didn't put my server IP into to stub. Did that happen automatically? How do I do that, if that's what I missed? And did I miss any other steps?

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I am an idiot. I figured it out. I had to right-click inside the control window and choose BUILDER to actually build the client.

You probably didn't put the IP to stub. After you input the IP to textbox, you have to click the "+" button under it.

Thanks for the reply. I managed to figure it out. I had to right-click inside the control window and choose BUILDER to actually build the client. The stub that's included is just a generic stub without any IP.

Read the last paragraph. And for clarification, the correct term is 'implant' or 'payload', a stub decodes encoded or encrypted data.
