Is this possible?

Guy I work with at my student IT desk told me about how once he was on a friends laptop playing cs:go and someone told him in chat to look down and they opened the disk tray remotely.
How hard would this be to do? Is this even possible?

yes install malware on their computer

No I mean remotely without malware. Kinda like remote desktop but idk how they would have gotten the comp name or local admin credentials

cont.

guy said it had something to do with an unprotected port. Anyone know anything about this?

He downloaded a rat

You have a lying or very stupid friend.

How so? As far as I know they were playing cs:go and just met this dude in game who decided to fuck with them

This is standard feature in all rats. That computer has a rat installed.

Obvious rat is obvious. Or he was transported to 2002 and opened a site with IE.

The RAT owner knows exactly what the victim is doing. It would be trivial for him to join the same CS:GO server.

sounds like old AMXMODX

So if we know it was a rat, how would the random guy find his info (ie. email or whatever) and get it on there?

Maybe it was the funniest way he could think of to say "look down"

what is a rat?

remote administration tool

Remote Access Trojan
wtf no

>student IT desk
kek

reqs to join is owning a pc or something?

no its a bird

Hello troll.

OP here
existing is prob the only requirement aside from being a student. Only worked here for a few weeks because I left me last IT desk job at my HS a few months ago.

Yeah but thats a no on needing real experience a lot of people are low-tier

Tech illiterate cretin. A rat can be a payload for a trojan and some trojans have remote administration capabilities built in. Those are called RAT trojans.
There is no such thing as a remote access trojan, fucktard.

Known as Sourcemod on source engine games.

Maybe your friend was one of those epic Counter-Strike hackers that download free wallhacks out of mpgh or God knows where. That shit tends to be infected with RATs.

Likely

Well, I haven't seen your friends files. But if he said he left some ports open and his router allowed outside access, then the hacker could've injected a rat on his system. So it's possible. Or he just downloaded some wallhacks that are infected and send a message to the creator of the hack so he could troll users.

Eh, we'd just blue screen the computers across the network we were playing on. Most of them ran win98 anyway.

> unprotected port
bullshit.

He might have played on a custom server and the game downloads the mod files before you join a server, this has been the case since HL1.

So one of these mods might have had this functionality. That's it.
No hack, no port shit, just the game + mod.
