Introduction

When we think of hacking tools, we typically think of sophisticated computer software or specialized hardware. However, there are many everyday objects that can also be used for hacking or at least have potential uses for hackers. In this blog, we will explore some unconventional hacking tools and discuss how they can be used for nefarious purposes.

USB Rubber Ducky

The USB Rubber Ducky is a small, programmable device that looks like a USB flash drive. However, it is actually a tool that can be used to perform keystroke injection attacks. In other words, it can be used to type out commands and execute them on a target computer without the user's knowledge.

To use the USB Rubber Ducky, an attacker would need to first program it with a script that contains the commands they want to execute. This script can be written in a simple language called Ducky Script, which is easy to learn.

Once the script has been programmed onto the USB Rubber Ducky, the attacker can simply plug it into a target computer and let it do its work. The device will type out the commands as if they were being entered by a human user.

RFID Reader

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) readers are used in many industries to track inventory or identify individuals. However, they can also be used by hackers to gain access to restricted areas or steal sensitive data.

An attacker could use an RFID reader to clone a legitimate access card or tag. Once the clone has been created, the attacker can use it to gain entry to secure areas or steal sensitive data that is stored on the card.

Wi-Fi Pineapple

The Wi-Fi Pineapple is a small device that can be used to perform a variety of wireless attacks. It is essentially a rogue access point that can be used to intercept and manipulate network traffic.

One of the most common uses for the Wi-Fi Pineapple is to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. This involves intercepting traffic between a user and a legitimate access point, and then relaying that traffic to the real access point while also capturing the user's data.

USB Killer

The USB Killer is a small device that is designed to destroy electronic devices. When plugged into a USB port, it sends a high-voltage surge of electricity through the device, effectively frying its circuitry.

While the USB Killer may not be useful for stealing data or accessing secure areas, it can be a useful tool for sabotage or vandalism.

Lockpicks

Lockpicking is the art of opening locks without a key. While it is often used by locksmiths and other legitimate professionals, it can also be used by criminals to gain access to restricted areas or steal valuable items.

There are many different types of lockpicks, ranging from simple picks and tension wrenches to more specialized tools like rakes and bump keys. Learning to pick locks can take some time and practice, but it can be a useful skill for a hacker to have in their arsenal.

Rubber Bands

Believe it or not, rubber bands can also be used for hacking. Specifically, they can be used to bypass certain types of physical security measures, such as zip ties or handcuffs.

By twisting and stretching a rubber band, a hacker can create a lot of tension. This tension can be used to snap the zip tie or handcuff, allowing the hacker to escape or gain access to a restricted area.

Shims

Shims are small, thin pieces of metal or plastic that can be used to bypass certain types of physical security measures, such as padlocks or door
