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:
“Now listen, buddy, there are a few corny ideas you got to get out of your head if you’re going to fly an airplane. Most things are just the reverse from what people think. The higher you are the safer you are. The Earth down there, that, that’s your enemy because once you hit that, boy, you splatter.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“One must always maintain one’s connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. To remain in touch with the past requires a love of memory. To remain in touch with the past requires a constant imaginative effort.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
