Hardware Hacking Tools

Hak5 offers a variety of hardware hacking tools designed for penetration testing, security research, and exploration of various communication protocols. Here’s a list of Hak5’s key hardware tools along with their attack surfaces:

1. USB Rubber Ducky

  • Description: A USB device that emulates a keyboard, executing prewritten scripts when plugged into a computer.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Keystroke Injection: Automates commands or scripts by emulating rapid keyboard input.
    • System Manipulation: Executes system-level commands, downloads malware, or alters system settings.
    • Data Exfiltration: Extracts sensitive data from the target system.

2. Bash Bunny

  • Description: A multi-function USB attack platform that supports various payloads and attack vectors.
  • Attack Surface:
    • USB HID Attacks: Emulates keyboards and network devices.
    • Network Attacks: Acts as a network adapter to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, DNS spoofing, or data exfiltration.
    • Mass Storage Attacks: Mimics a USB drive to deploy or retrieve files.

3. Key Croc

  • Description: A stealthy keylogger that captures keystrokes and can deploy payloads when specific sequences are detected.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Keylogging: Records all keystrokes entered on a keyboard.
    • Payload Execution: Deploys custom scripts or commands upon detecting specific keystroke sequences.
    • Data Exfiltration: Sends captured data to a remote server or stores it locally.

4. Shark Jack

  • Description: A compact network penetration testing device that connects via Ethernet.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Network Scanning: Performs reconnaissance by scanning network devices and services.
    • Network Injection: Executes payloads that can manipulate or disrupt network traffic.
    • MITM Attacks: Captures and analyzes network data, potentially leading to credential theft or data manipulation.

5. Packet Squirrel

  • Description: A pocket-sized device for packet capture and man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Packet Capture: Logs network traffic for analysis.
    • MITM Attacks: Intercepts and modifies traffic between a device and the network.
    • Network Spoofing: Alters DNS responses or redirects traffic to malicious sites.

6. LAN Turtle

  • Description: A covert penetration testing tool disguised as an Ethernet adapter.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Remote Access: Provides persistent remote access via SSH.
    • Network Manipulation: Spoofs DNS, redirects traffic, or captures network packets.
    • Data Exfiltration: Steals data from the local network or connected devices.

7. Signal Owl

  • Description: A powerful Wi-Fi reconnaissance and attack platform.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Wi-Fi Sniffing: Captures Wi-Fi traffic, including unencrypted data and credentials.
    • Wi-Fi Jamming: Disrupts Wi-Fi communications by flooding the network with noise.
    • Evil Twin Attacks: Creates fake access points to capture user credentials or inject malicious payloads.

8. WiFi Pineapple

  • Description: A comprehensive Wi-Fi auditing tool for penetration testers.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Rogue Access Point: Mimics legitimate Wi-Fi networks to intercept user data.
    • Wi-Fi Sniffing: Captures Wi-Fi traffic for analysis, including credentials and session data.
    • Client Manipulation: Forces client devices to connect to malicious access points.

9. O.MG Cable

  • Description: A malicious USB cable that looks normal but can deliver payloads and perform keystroke injections.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Keystroke Injection: Sends malicious commands to the connected device.
    • Payload Deployment: Deploys scripts or malware onto the target system.
    • Remote Control: Allows remote execution of commands via a wireless interface.

10. Rubber Ducky MkII

  • Description: An updated version of the USB Rubber Ducky with enhanced features.
  • Attack Surface:
    • Enhanced Keystroke Injection: Faster and more reliable script execution.
    • Dynamic Payloads: Supports more complex and adaptive payloads.
    • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works on various operating systems for broader attack potential.
