DarkComet is a program for Windows designed for monitoring computers from a remote location. Please note that every operation is carried out in stealth mode. Due to this, the application is commonly used for secret surveillance.

General notes

With the help of this utility, you can easily bypass the protection offered by the built-in firewall. However, installed antivirus solutions are capable of recognizing the process and blocking it. Thus, the use of this piece of software while browsing the Internet without the basic security mechanisms deployed is not recommended. Alternatively, you may try other remote access and control tools such as TeamViewer or Remote Desktop Connection Manager.

Functionality

Due to extended access of the program to the computer, you are able to edit the Windows registry, as well as select and disable startup items. It is possible to remotely control the desktop and take screenshots. In addition, you have full access to the device’s microphones and can even get an image from a webcam or run a keylogger.
