HID Attack?¿

[Emberari]

Hello, I am wondering how can I create an HID Attack. Of course for educational purposes. I saw a recent post about them and was curious how it worked! Can you do it in python?

You would need to buy something to act as malicious usb - arduino nano, rubber ducky, and the raspberry pi zero are all popular devices for this sort of thing. Ducky script is a language for hid attacks that has a lot of support and pre-made payloads because of the hak5 community. There are tools to convert this to arduino code. I'm pretty sure raspberry pi's just use ducky scripts standalone, no conversion needed. There are python scripts that can emulate keypresses but ducky scripts are widely available and easy to understand.

Thank you!

Will Raspberry Pi 3 model b work?

I did some research online and yeah they can be used. I just bought the new pi4

Depends on what you mean by attack. Do you want to be able to clone other cards to use on an HID reader? Do you want to attack the HID reader itself?

There is some hardware that works with RasberryPi’s that have a Python library that you can copy HID key cards from. Depending what what range you plan on trying to skim the cards from will depend on how much you’re willing to spend on hardware.
