well hak 5 have just recently launched a project called usb ducky its a arduino device that acts as a hid and can replicate keyboard or mouse
while there main aim is to make it a pentesting tool they blieve it can easily be used for repair tasks
my thoughs for this are
using it to automate keyboard and mouse presses posible usefull for a un atended install without modifying a installer disk
using it to run automation tasks
using it to run diagnostics apps without touching the mouse
these are some of the ideas i have
but im sure you all have your ideas for it too
im ordering one to play with next week and will see what fun uses i can comeup with
even though its main use in the hacking respect is to be a keyboard im sure it could be modded to do other cool things after all it is a arduino at its core
any way i decided to post this for you guys to inform and warn of its arival
even though its being used for pentesting securiy flaws someone will no doubt use it for malicious intent its so small it could be disguised at a flash drive and because ir uses a hid driver for programing it it can pretend to be a keyboard therefor is unrestricatable via auto run
it could be hidden inside a external harddrive on a usb hub and click the auto run buttons to launch a payload off the hard drive but anyway just thought id post about it
