Hacking tools

Just (re)entering the space of hacking hardware (I had a flipper, but it went boom after a fallout with a bottle of Coke and the rubbish attached lids we have in the UK.

I am getting the stuff to build a Bjorn networking tool as a first project. In a "Oh-I-wonder-if-I-could build-one-educational" activity...

Has anyone built one before? What use did you get out of it?

What other tools have people built?

  • All the bits that came today were a straightforward build and quite interesting, eventually I my plan is to have a few different tools and a target device that I'd be able to run on a separate network to show people how they all work

      It's brilliant when a plan, or build, comes together nicely! 

  • Sounds fascinating! I haven't done anything like that before. I mostly play cybergames on Steam and other platforms. 
    What was the first tool you ever built?

      None yet, but I have ordered my first Raspberry Pi to build the Bjorn.

      I once attended an excellent session where the presenter talked about how easily you could use a rubber ducky disguised as a mouse to take over a user's PC, went into detail about how it was all linked to Discord agents. Then, he asked if anyone wanted to plug his mouse into their devices... Worryingly, some people did....

        Awesome! Will be interesting to know how you get on with that. 

        Oh dear... 😅 Fascinating! Maybe, they had a counterprogram that would cancel out his and rather install their own freshly minted program on his mouse, ready for when he plugs it into his PC 🙈 I'm grasping at straws here 🤣
