DIY USB Rubber Ducky with Raspberry Pi Pico

Overview

This project demonstrates how to create a USB Rubber Ducky using a Raspberry Pi Pico as a keyboard HID (Human Interface Device). The device can execute custom scripts for penetration testing, automating tasks, and ethical hacking. It supports French (FR) and US keyboard layouts, along with a custom scripting syntax.

Features:

• Raspberry Pi Pico as a USB HID Keyboard
• Custom scripting engine for executing payloads
• Support for multiple keyboard layouts (FR, US)
• Python-based execution engine
• Adafruit HID library support

Hardware Requirements

• Raspberry Pi Pico
• USB cable
• Computer for writing and running scripts

Software Implementation

1. Setting Up the Raspberry Pi Pico

1. Download and install MicroPython firmware on your Raspberry Pi Pico.
2. Use Thonny IDE or another Python editor to upload scripts.
3. Install Adafruit HID library to handle keyboard emulation.

2. Writing Payloads

The scripting syntax allows you to define keystrokes, delays, and commands, similar to traditional USB Rubber Ducky payloads. Example syntax:

WAIT 1000
WRITE Hello, World!
ENTER

3. Executing the Script

1. Write the payload script.
2. Upload it to the Raspberry Pi Pico.
3. Plug the device into a target machine, and it will execute the keystrokes automatically.
