Just picked up the legendary Hak5 Rubber Ducky — and I couldn’t be more excited. 🐤💻

For those unfamiliar, this seemingly innocent USB device acts like a keyboard and can execute preloaded keystroke injection payloads the moment it’s plugged in. It’s been used in countless red team exercises, penetration tests, and security demos — and now it’s my turn to dig in.

I got this tool not just for fun (though let’s be real, it is fun) — but to level up my hands-on skills in offensive security. My plan over the next few weeks is to:

• Write and customize payloads using DuckyScript and other scripting languages
• Simulate real-world attack scenarios in a controlled lab environment
• Study how endpoint protection and security controls respond
• Learn more about device trust, physical security, and human factor vulnerabilities

Offensive security is something I’ve been passionate about for a while, and adding tools like this to my lab gives me more than just technical practice — it sharpens my mindset. Thinking like an attacker helps build stronger defenses, and I’m all about bridging that red/blue gap.

If you’ve worked with the Rubber Ducky, I’d love to hear your favorite payloads, tips, or use cases. I’m diving in deep and will share anything interesting I learn along the way.
