USB Hacking Tools - Inori - 12-31-2016
I'm looking at buying some hacking hardware, so I've done some research on what some of the devices available to consumers can do.
The first piece of tech I'm looking into is the infamous USB Killer 2.0, which does a hell of a job at frying practically anything with a USB port that isn't protected with an Optical Isolator (a cool technology that I recommend reading up on). Obviously, this is highly illegal, but it's not like that will stop anyone willing to spend £50 on it.
The second device is the tried and (mostly) true USB Rubber Ducky, which definitely wins for best name. The Rubber Ducky takes advantage of the implicit trust given to HID devices by most operating systems (Windows, Mac, most Linux distros, and Android included, making the Rubber Ducky cross-compatible), and acts as a keystroke injection tool, capable of typing faster than 1000 words per minute. It implements a scripting language called Ducky Script that looks very similar to Batch and is designed for ease-of-use, so it's super simple to pick up, even for script kiddies who've never coded a line in their life, unfortunately. At a more moderate price of $45 US and with more functionality and versatility available, I personally think the Rubber Ducky is the way to go for the hacker who needs something to do.

I don't understand the point of the UsbKiller...
It just kills hardware. Give me one example where this could be used practicaly

I'd consider the USB Killer more of a proof of concept than anything; I never said it's super practical.

I know of the USB Rubber Ducky, It's certainly excellent In achieving It's objective. And very well priced too.
I haven't looked Into the USB Killer as yet, but shall do so this afternoon. I like the Idea of frying one's system (those who deserve It of course).
Thanks for this.

Lol do not pay for a usb killer. You can literally make them out of any usb device and a disposable flash camera. I can give tuts if needed.

I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in a tutorial for that. Hope to see it.

Yeaaaaah
But those things are imo a bit more sure than this handmade one.
Probably still want the tut though.

You are right you can even create a taser from a disposable flash camera.

I might dig around for the LinusTechTips video where Luke went over this briefly.

This. The USB Killer is just a capacitor that charges up via the usb port and then dumps all its stored energy very quickly. Overvolt anything that quickly and it will go bang.
