Quasar RAT (often called QuasarRAT) is an open-source Remote Access Trojan (RAT) written in C# (.NET) that allows an attacker to remotely control a compromised Windows system.

Although it was originally released as a legitimate remote administration tool, it is widely abused by cybercriminals and is now classified as malware by security vendors.
