ANDROID RAT APP

Sumit Yadav, Aditya Varvatkar

Abstract- In this project we are implementing RAT (Remote Administration tool) for Android , which can obtain

various types/format of data from children device and send to parent. To do this we need to install an application in

child device, and all would be sent to Parent side, which would receive all key log. It will capture all the data from

WhatsApp sent-received files and then child activities like files child downloaded,the photos he/she captured with

camera , all the SMS the child receives would be sent to parent email id. The data received by the parent is within

seconds also depends upon the Child internet connection speed.

1. INTRODUCTION

In this Project we will be developing a RAT(Remote

Administrator tool), spyware for Android OS which will be

used to monitor the usage of the Children. A RAT or remote

administration tool, is software that gives a person full control

on device, remotely. The RAT gives the child access to your

system, just as if they had physical access to your device. With

this access, the person can access your files . Spyware is

installed on a device unknowingly of the child device in order

to collect the children device’s private information. Spyware is

hidden from the child to gather information about internet

interaction, keystrokes, passwords, and other sensitive details.

Key logger is a program that records every keystroke made by

a child, especially in order to gain fraudulent access to

sensitive information. Keyloggers, are a type of spyware that

maliciously track child input from the keyboard in an attempt

to retrieve personal and private information .The keyboard is

the primary aim for key loggers to retrieve child input from

because it is the most common child interface with a

computer. Although both hardware and software key loggers

exist, software key loggers are the dominant form. Software

keyloggers on the other hand collect keystroke data within the

target machine, store them temporary on local storage before

sending them to the parent who installed the keylogger. A key

logger recorder can record everything typed in internet

browsers, SMS texting, all chat conversations, you type at any

time using your phone’s keyboard. The log file created by the

key logger can then be sent to a specified receiver.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

If Parents wants to monitor their Children activities

unkonowingly on phone. Mobile Keylogger is installed onto a

mobile phone to monitor the activities of the child. Parent may

use them to monitor their children malicious activities like

engaging in harmful games and any fraud and bad influences

which can harm the child in future. We will create a useful

and free app to help you get to know, what your children are

doing at smartphone. KeyLogger – is a parental control

compatible with the most used OS in the world. Install this

app for Android and get all information about activity of

mobile or tablet of your kids.

Above figure shows working of Android-Rat in

following sequence:

1. Parent install key-logger to children who haven’t any idea

about Android-Rat.

2. Children unaware of application which installed by Parent

because he/she are laymen person so they haven’t any idea

about key-logger or any malicious application.

3. Parent will install child key-logger on the children device

and also give permission.

4. On child device all accessed data store on data retrieval

server or …../log file.

5. In last step Parent provide mechanism of “ sending E-

mail” . After interval of time Child device transmit log file

data to Parents by email.

IMPLEMENTATION:

Android mobiles are used by everyone now a days. This is

used for the various purpose such as bank transaction,

paytm use etc so that they can enter its important details

through keyboard which is personal information through

android device.

Keystroke Capturing by IME keyboard: An input method editor

(IME) is a user control that enables users to enter text. Android

provides an extensible input-method framework that allows

applications to provide users alternative input methods, such as on-

screen keyboards or even speech input. After installing the desired

IMEs, a user can select which one to use from the system settings,

and use it across the entire system; only one IME may be enabled at

a time. While using android phone , child interact with keyboard ,

when child keyboard system generates keystroke of it , so we will

implement module namely key logger which capture each

keystroke , key logger save each keystroke in .../log file and E-mail

sender send it from child’s device to parent e-mail.

Algorithm:

1) when child use keyboard , system generates keystroke of it.

2) Key logger captures keystroke and save it into ../log file.

3) Key logger send ../log file ...txt file to parents e-mail.

Message Capturing and Forwarding: While using android phone ,

child mostly use keyboard or touch. When child uses some online

banking, also accessing personal data like username, password and

text messages etc. And also text messages received on child phones

all the information will captured and stored in app. For sending to

the respective Email.

Email Sender: E-mail sender is the one of the most important module

in this RAT project. This module will send All the captured

informations thorugh the email, from children device to the parent’s

e-mail. So, the whole process will be happening in background ,and

beacause of that child will never aware with this process.

Media Sender: Media sender work is same as E-mail sender ,it will

send media content (jpg,gif,png,pdf,mp3 etc) to parent device .

Media sender work in background , so child never aware with this

system.

providing us with such an environment so as to achieve goals of

our project and supporting us constantly.We express our sincere

gratitude to our Honorable Principal Mr. Y.D.Venkatesh for

encouragement and facilities provided to us.We would like to

place on record our deep sense of gratitude to Asst. Prof. Prachi

tawde, Head of Dept Of Information Technology, Xavier Institute

of Engineering, Mahim, Mumbai, for her generous guidance help

and useful suggestions.With deep sense of gratitude we

acknowledge the guidance of our project guide Prof. Fr Dr. John

Rose S.J. The time-to-time assistance and encouragement by her

has played an important role in the development of our

project.We would also like to thank our entire Information

Technology staff who have willingly co-operated with us in

resolving our queries and providing us all the required facilities

on time.

CONCLUSION

Android RAT is an free app for monitoring children Android

device .It helps to keep track of your children activities and get

to know with whom he or she communicates in Internet, how

long do the play computer games and how much time spend in

webspace. Using KeyLogger will allows parent to read SMS

and many more data. It is very useful app to ensure safety of

children.
