Book Description

Imagine you could walk up to a computer, plug in a seemingly innocent USB drive, and have it install a backdoor, exfiltrate documents, steal passwords or any number of pentest tasks.

All of these things can be done with many well crafted keystrokes. If you could just sit in front of this computer, with photographic memory and perfect typing accuracy, you could do all of these things in just a few minutes.

The USB Rubber Ducky does this in seconds. It violates the inherent trust computers have in humans by posing as a keyboard - and injecting keystrokes at superhuman speeds.

Since 2010 the USB Rubber Ducky has been a favorite among hackers, pentesters and IT pros. With its debut, keystroke injection attacks were invented - and since it has captured the imagination with its simple scripting language, formidable hardware, and covert design.
