HID-Attack

In this project i used an arduino mini with a usb rubber ducky to try a HID Attack using a keyboard to start a reverse shell in the victime machine for Windows and Linux but wait what's HID and HID Attack ?

Explanation

- HID

Human Interface Device, simply it's something that takes input and give output from/to humans like a keyboard or mouse or ..., it's simple right ? XD

- HID-ATTACK

It's a scenario where an attacker uses a keyboard or a mouse to physically attack a machine. As in this project i used a keyboard to lunch a reverse shell, You can use a keyboard to type stuff that makes you control the victim machine or extract data.

Preparation

• In your machine (Attack Machine)
• Setup a netcat listener using this command nc -lvnp 4444
• in the code, don't forget to modify the IP and PORT parameters (Attack Machine's IP and PORT)

Installation

Some Stupid Instructions that you might forget !

• I recommend using Arduino IDE Choose your version depending on your operation system and Download it

1. Connect your arduino board
2. To verify the connection go to Tools > Port You will see "COM4" in windows or "/dev/tty0/ACM0" in Linux
3. Choose Your Board go to Tools > Board and choose your board (Arduino UNO or Arduino Mini)
4. If you wanna test your code and debug it go to Sketch > Verify/Compile if you wanna send it directly Sketch > Upload

For this project you will need an external library that's called Keyboard.h

• For the older version of Arduino

1. Download it as a zip file from the github page
2. Go to Sketch > Include a Library > ADD .ZIP Library
3. and upload the library

• For the newer versions of Arduino

1. Go to Sketch > Include a Library > Manage Libraries > Search for "Keyboard" and install it

Components
