Abstract : In the realm of contemporary law enforcement, combating cybercrime necessitates innovative tools capable of navigating the digital landscape effectively. This paper examines the development and implications of a custom Remote Access Tool (RAT) tailored specifically for law enforcement use and made specifically for the Linux environment. Unlike conventional malware, this RAT operates covertly, evading detection by traditional antivirus software, and enables authorized agents to remotely access and gather crucial information from target systems. Through a user- friendly interface and advanced functionalities, it empowers law enforcement agencies to conduct digital investigations with unprecedented efficiency and efficacy, while also raising important considerations regarding legality, transparency, and ethical conduct in the pursuit of justice.

Keywords : Remote Access Tool, Linux OS, Law Enforcement Agencies, Anti-Virus Evasion.
