Remote Desktop / Screen Capture - Malware Gallery (Beta)
Description
The Remote Desktop or Screen Capture feature in malware provides the attacker with the ability to silently view and control the victim's desktop in real-time. This capability is akin to virtually looking over the victim's shoulder, offering an unfiltered window into the user's activities and data. For the attacker, this offers a multi-faceted advantage: it allows for easy data harvesting, offers clues for further exploitation, and can facilitate lateral movement across a network. Whether the end goal is data theft, corporate espionage, or advanced persistent threats, the ability to capture or control a desktop remotely equips attackers with a potent tool for deepening their intrusion into a compromised system.
