[@derpythecate6842]

For the curious, this is relatively easy to do vs other forms of hacking. It's simply a microcontroller with human interface device (HID capabilities), hidden in the USB cable. As most hardware plugged into computers are not verified for their identity, you can masquerade as a normal keyboard. To sum it up, it opens the run window using Ctrl + R and then proceeds to execute one super long powershell command. Powershell commands can do everything on windows, such as downloading malware to steal your account hashes, stealing your wifi passwords (Windows very kindly gives you cleartext wifi passwords) and even your browser history in a matter of seconds. It also leaves little traces as it can download full exe files and execute them all in memory, leaving no clues on the disk, and the only clues are in the Windows logs or a full memory analysis.

[@SanteriHietanen]

It’s also relatively easy to block. Even Defender can block it.

[@rkvkydqf]

@@SanteriHietanen Block what? A RubbyDuck or the downloaded malware? It's practically impossible to block a RubbyDuck without either using an overly complex or the way too simple solution. You can make it detect when the typing is too fast, but all an attacker needs to do is just make it slower. You can try identifying a person using keystroke dynamics and AI, but you can't do that very reliably. *The only defence left is pure common sense of not plugging in random phones, drives, cables, etc.*

[@SanteriHietanen]

@@rkvkydqf Are you serious? It's not impossible to block. I don't know where you get that you wouldn't be able to block it. Easiest way is to literally have windows require admin password for it so that every UAC needs admin password. Second easiest way to block it is for example to limit access to powershell, the cmd prompt, and run command (as these are the most common ways a rubber ducky executes malicious code) You could block it only for USB. Whitelisting USB's works also. Even then if the script starts running antivirus will block the malware it's trying to insert.

[@Wunderkind777]

​@@SanteriHietanen Yeah sure, Defender is blocking a HID device ahahahaha. weirdo

[@SanteriHietanen]

People type in their sensitive information to register for online accounts everyday. Social media is the biggest factor in this. I work in a call center, and the data protection rules are strict enough that giving out a single name, address, number etc to anyone without them confirming their identity is gross misconduct and gets you fired, and no recording devices are allowed in the centers. I'm studying network security and I can guarantee you that people do not lose their information, they give it away. Targeted attacks on businesses can give some and then normally you would be targeted for them to get the rest of what they need from you.

He used social engineering, where users are the biggest security loophole itself. He is pretty smart tho, exploiting users to find his way into the system.

That is a bad USB (that's how they're called), they make the computer think they're a keyboard, once they're connected they start typing a command on the console. The command is programmed and loaded on the USB beforehand. You can do almost anything with it, from granting remote access to the computer to deleting files or pranking a friend.

[@drabberfrog]

Yeah, all these videos where they demonstrate how hackers do things are really not helpful for the average person's security. Maybe if you're a government official or a CEO of a corporation you might have to worry about a hacker getting physical access to your computer or hacking your webcam but for the average person these attacks take too much effort and are not profitable. What is profitable is guessing the terrible passwords people use for every single website and "hacking" their accounts. All these videos do is distract from that elephant in the room. It makes sense why they do it, the average person is probably entertained and concerned a lot more by a crazy hacker pluging in a flash drive and instantly taking control of a computer (even though the hacker already had access to it for who knows how long with admin privileges.)

For those of you wondering how this is most likely done, its probably a modified usb rubber ducky, see a computer would scan a usb device and wont let it automatically run files on the flash drive,, but it lets HID(human-interface-devices) type things without a problem.. so a flash drive, would look like a flash drive but it would have code in it which will make it so that when the device is plugged in, it starts to type in commands which then downloads and runs malware... in this case he has made the cable become a keyboard using the same usb-rubber ducky concept

[@SomeRandomPiggo]

A less technobabble way to put it is that the device acts like a keyboard, opens the Run dialog with Win+R and runs a command to download a payload (the spyware) and run it

Crazy stuff.

[@v380riMz]

​@@goldengiorno6890 It takes years bro. I'm a 3rd years CySec student and the information is STILL overwhelming. You literally can't know everything. But in the end it all boils down to simple defending to keep out hackers; filter ports, setup an IDS/IPS consisting out of millions of rules, prepared SQL statements, input sanitization, least privilege policy, updating regurarily, password policies and keeping updated on the newest CVE's. Now this still scratches the surface, ofcourse giant webapps could have vulnerabilities, but how many of them are actual RCE's or SQLi's? Most companies only get hacked nowadays through human error such as opening phishing mails with infected files.

If you want an explanation: USB can be used for more than data transfer, for example your keyboard and mouse are plugged in via USB which is exactly what is happening here. The little thick part on the end of the charging cable actually contains a very compact computer which pretends to be a keyboard and sends keystrokes to the computer. The keystrokes here are that it holds win+R to open the run window (which allows you to run executables with arguments) it calls the powershell executable with the arguments /w 1 /ep bypass, or windowstyle 1 (hidden) and execution policy bypass (let’s you execute scripts) then it starts a try{} routine (attempts to run code within, if error it exits) and uses net.webclient and invoke-expression to download a powershell script (list of commands) into memory and execute it. This opens a powershell script that runs in the background of the computer and most likely will take commands from a server, execute them, and send the output back to the server. This is what’s called a reverse shell, it is the first step for an attacker to gain access. Anything you can do on a computer and more is possible from a reverse shell, including downloading files from your pc and downloading additional malware to the PC.

[@azazmir9340]

Well thats because 80% of the users use windows as their os. So, malwares are specifically created to target a particular os or a program. Wouldnt be surprise if something similar could happen on a macos but it might be abit difficult to say the least
