Reverse Connection
In this mode of operation remote computer(s) acts as the "Host" for the RAT software, for the "client" remote administrator to control. RATs that use this method of connectivity have the following operational advantages.
- Outgoing connections are generally perceived as less threatening to the remote "host" user, as it is the remote user who activates the download of the remote administration tool software. This procedure usually allows the software tool to avoid being blocked by a firewall, such as used in a router device.
- Since the remote "host" computer itself is connecting to the remote administrator, it will not be necessary for the remote administrator to know the remote "host" computers IP address to send the software tool.
A diagram is shown below which illustrates the remote administrator as the "client" connected to multiple "server" computers that are performing various functions:

Famous quotes containing the words reverse and/or connection:
“We came home from the ridotto so late, or rather so early, that it was not possible for me to write. Indeed we did not go ... till past eleven o’clock: but nobody does. A terrible reverse of the order of nature! We sleep with the sun, and wake with the moon.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“The smallest fact about the connection between character and hormonal balance offers more insight into the soul than a five-story idealistic system [of philosophy] does.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
