I'm sorry, but that has got to be the most idiotic advise I've ever heard.

You want something that is "secure" in your remote control software. Something like VNC when being tunneled through SSH or stunnel.
Those are both free and you have WAY more control with those than you would ever with a trojan... short of setting up zombies for a DDoS.

Trojans offer NO security what so ever... if I may quote Homer. "Doh!"

By using a trojan or "RAT" as you like to call it... you will only open up holes for anyone who you have installed it on. You make it so any script kiddie with a trojan scanner (which all have) can cause havoc on the net.

If you are using trojans as your remote control software... you don't know dick about securing a system. Let alone good computing practices. But... you can still learn.

Haven't you read about "hacker ethics"? How about just general human ethics?!

That is kind of like me making 25 copies of your MAC card and handing them out (along with your PIN) to random people at the mall!
What do you think they're going to do with it? Throw it in the trash? Nah... they're going to have a field day!

Oh, I've read your trojan tutorial... and I know you're not an idiot per say. Just the advise that you offered is a little out there. We're trying to keep people safe... not open their systems to the world.
