Arducky - Arduino Ducky Script Interpreter

This project aims to create a cheap alternative (but not less efficient) to Hak5's USB Rubber Ducky.

Introduction

The USB Rubber Ducky is a HID (Human Interface Device) programmable with a simple scripting language allowing penetration testers to quickly and easily craft and deploy security auditing payloads that mimic human keyboard input.

Using Arducky, you only need to deal with Ducky Script stored on a MicroSD card.

After setup, you'll no longer need to reprogram your Arduino to change scripts.

Hardwares

QuantityItemPriceDescription
1Arduino Pro Micro ATmega32U4 5V Board$4.11Compatible with USB protocol, can be used as HID mouse or keyboard
1Micro SD Memory Shield$0.78
1Micro USB OTG Adapter$0.99Facultative. Can be used to replace micro USB cable
1DuPont Wires$1.28
1Micro SD Card$18.00This is an example, doubt that you'll need more than 1GB

Formatting

In order to use your Micro SD Card with Arducky, the card must be formatted to FAT32 filesystem.

I strongly recommend you to format your SD Card (even if it's a new!), using the official SDA's (SD Association) SD Memory Card Formatter rather than using formatting tools provided with your operating system.

Wiring

Now that you've formatted your MicroSD card, let's wire up the MicroSD shield!

The MicroSD controller interface has a total of six pins (GND, VCC, MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS).

Based on Arduino SPI documentation, the control interface must be conneted as following (using DuPont wires):

Note: As mentioned in hardwares section, the module is designed to interact with a 5V µC, thus you'll need 5V pin on your Arduino.

Setup

Clone the project:

git clone https://gitlab.com/Creased/arducky
cd arducky/

If you're using an AZERTY keyboard, you'll also need to replace your Keyboard library (Keyboard.cpp and Keyboard.h) with the included one.

Upload the arducky.ino sketch to your Arduino board using the Arduino IDE.

Femtoduino

To generate the arducky_femto.ino file with a Ducky Script payload, you can use femto_generate_payload.py:

~# python3 femto_generate_payload.py -h
usage: femto_generate_payload.py [-h] [-i ino_file] [-o output_file]
                                          payload_file

Generates payload in arducky_femto.ino from an input Rubber Ducky payload file

positional arguments:
  payload_file          input Rubber Ducky payload file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i ino_file, --ino ino_file
                        input Arducky ino file
  -o output_file, --out output_file
                        output Arducky ino file

Example:

~# python3 femto_generate_payload.py -i arducky_femto.ino -o femto.ino demo/script.txt

The Empire strikes back with Arducky (demo)

Empire is a post-exploitation framework implementing the ability to run PowerShell agents without needing powershell.exe, rapidly deployable post-exploitation modules ranging from key loggers to Mimikatz.

In this demo, we'll deploy an Empire on a remote server (such as a VPS) on a Docker node and will use Arducky to join it.

Setup

Please follow steps described this guide.

Ducky Script

By setting up a new Empire, you should get a payload such as (see demo/ folder):

Save it to a file named stager.txt and run create_script.sh script in order to create the Ducky Script:

./create_script.sh
