I'm actually surprised you managed to get a RAT on Linux. With Linux you can't really just download the executable and run it. Maybe a java RAT.

I haven't heard of ways to disable it. It's wired directly into the webcam.

You're not freaked out by having a RAT at all? You should unplug your computer from the internet and install windows or reinstall your linux distro

Setro's pretty handicapped, considering he can't even find an AV.

Either way, most common RAT programs can generate .jar stubs

Yeah, but it uses the .jar stub to execute it as an exe if it's on Windows. The only actual Java RAT I know of is jRat.

Oh darn, that's creepy. I saw a documentary about this happening on CBS and apparently these viruses are created by some really gross people who want to watch every move you make. I think you should either get a new computer, or reset your system. Hope this doesn't happen again to you.
