Discord Remote Access Trojan (Discord RAT)

---

Overview

This project is a Discord‑controlled remote command execution bot.

The bot connects to a Discord server, creates a channel named after the host machine’s public IP, and executes PowerShell commands sent through that channel. Output is returned directly to Discord.

NOTE: This program will work if you have a network that restricts imbound/internal SSH, due to the use of an external API (Discord Token).

This project is intended strictly for educational use in controlled environments.

Features

• Connects to Discord using a bot token
• Creates a host‑specific command channel
• Executes arbitrary PowerShell commands
• Streams command output back to Discord
• Graceful shutdown command (shutdown)
• Hidden PowerShell window using CREATE_NO_WINDOW
• API web server for uploading files from victim's computer

How It Works

1. The bot logs into Discord using a bot token.
2. On startup, it retrieves the machine’s public IP and creates a dedicated text channel.
3. It launches a persistent PowerShell subprocess.
4. Any message sent in the channel is treated as a PowerShell command.
5. Output is captured and returned to Discord in chunks (max 2000 characters).
6. Sending shutdown terminates the bot, and activates supervisor script.
7. Sending hard-shutdown terminates all scripts completly.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• discord.py
• requests

Optional: If you want to turn the .py file into an executable (.exe) you will also need: PyInstaller

Install dependencies:

pip install discord.py requests

pip install pyinstaller

---

How to Make it Into a Executable

Open a terminal in the same place as the .py file and enter the following command:

python -m PyInstaller --onefile --noconsole DiscordRAT.py

This will create 2 folders, the .exe file will be in the "dist" folder.

---

How to Run

Open a terminal window at the path of the bot.py file, then enter the following command:

python3 DiscordRAT.py
