Nfluence

</noinclude>
<b>Nfluence</b> is a native remote access trojan (RAT, also known as creepware) written in the programming language .
Designed, developed, and released by Bytebreak in December 2016, Nfluence<nowiki/>'s purpose was to - like any successful RAT - gain administrative rights to a victim's computer and allow it to be controlled remotely. In this case, the victim and most antivirus software (excluding Symantec Endpoint Protection and Avast Antivirus - among others) were unaware of it's presence.
Two versions of Nfluence were released, with one targeting the Windows operating system, another targeting Linux-based systems.
The most notable design choice was to have it completely written in native code for Windows 8 and bundled with an emulator to allow it to run on previous versions of Microsoft Windows, as far back as Windows XP. This means that the same code can run on most Windows-based computers.
It is estimated that in the few following months after it's release in December 2016, Nfluence had already infected as many as 110,000 machines running windows.
