This course will cover USB in detail with an emphasis on understanding USB Mass Storage devices (also known as flash drives or thumb drives).By the end of this course students will know how to sniff USB traffic using open source tools, be able to write-block USB mass storage devices using software and microcontroller-based hardware, be able to impersonate other USB devices, and understand how to make forensic duplicates of USB mass storage devices. Along the way students will also learn how to use microcontrollers and Udev rules.
All of us have heard about or used Hacker Gadgets like the WiFi Pineapple, Minipwner, Pwn Plug, R00tabaga etc. They are fantastic to use for demos, in social engineering tasks, explaining security implications in a fun way to non security professionals and in actual pentest task automation! but what does it take to build one? In this course, we will teach you how to build a Hacker Gadget (or Pentest Gadget if you prefer 😉 ) for less than $50 from scratch. How much technical expertise do you need to follow this course? – if you’ve installed Linux and ever configured an Access Point, you will feel right at home!
