Explanation

Beast is widely recognized as one of the pioneering Remote Access Trojans (RATs), first emerging around 2002. Unlike Sircam (a mass-mailing worm), Code Red (an IIS web server worm), or Sadmind (a Solaris/IIS worm), Beast was specifically designed as a trojan that allowed attackers to remotely control infected Windows systems. It introduced key features like reverse connection and server injection that became standard in later RATs.
