Quickpost: Update: Infinite Control For Bash Bunny

Filed under: Bash Bunny,Hardware,My Software,Quickpost,Update — Didier Stevens @ 16:39

This is an update to my Bash Bunny payload Infinite Control: it sends a CONTROL keypress every 10 seconds. I changed the LED colors, and if you uncomment line 27 the BREAK key will be used (function key 15, as some people suggested).

You can find it on HAK5’s GitHub Bash Bunny repository too.

Quickpost: Bash Bunny & Keyboard Layouts

Filed under: Bash Bunny,Hardware,Quickpost — Didier Stevens @ 12:50

This Quickpost is for my Bash Bunny with the original firmware. Since my first Bash Bunny post a couple of days ago, firmware 1.1 was released, but I have not yet upgraded.

When I used my Bash Bunny as a keyboard emulator (attackmode HID) to type string Attack! (QUACK STRING Attack!), I got the same result as with my Teensy: the string Qttqck1 was typed. That’s because by default, Bash Bunny emulates a US keyboard, and my computers are configured for a BE keyboard layout.

A keyboard doesn’t send characters to the computer when typed upon, but it sends so-called scancodes identifying the typed keys. Then the operating system converts those scancodes to characters, depending on the configured keyboard layout. So I have two solutions to fix my problem: change the keyboard layout of my machines to US, or have my Bash Bunny send the scancodes corresponding to a BE keyboard.

Solution 1 is not practical for me, so let’s take a look at solution 2. With my Teensy, I would send characters Qttqck8. Doing the same with my Bash Bunny, command “QUACK STRING Qttqck8” sends the correct scancodes for a BE keyboard to type Attack!.

Fortunately, the Bash Bunny can be configured to use keyboard layouts other than US, so that I don’t have to convert strings. But first, The DuckToolKit needs to be installed on the Bash Bunny via the DuckyInstall payload. After the toolkit is installed, you will find a folder (/root/tools/DuckToolkit/ducktoolkit/languages) with json files for different keyboard layouts on the Bash Bunny:

OK, so how do we use this in a payload? With command QUACK SET_LANGUAGE, like this:


#!/bin/bash

ATTACKMODE HID

QUACK SET_LANGUAGE be
QUACK STRING Attack!

SET_LANGUAGE will use the selected keyboard layout, and translate the strings to the correct scancodes. Remark that if you select a keyboard layout for which there is no corresponding json file on your Bash Bunny, then the HID key injection will not work. You will have to find or create a json file for your keyboard layout, and add it to the folder.

This is the be.json file (BE keyboard layout):

Notice that the scancodes for letter q are: 00, 00 and 04. The first byte (00) is the modifier key (indicating SHIFT for example), the second byte (00) is reserved, and the third byte (04) is the keycode.

This is the us.json file (US keyboard layout):

Notice that the same scancodes for letter q on a BE keyboard (00, 00 and 04) correspond to letter a on a US keyboard.

BTW, when my Bash Bunny is plugged-in for a couple of hours, it gets a little bit hot:

Quickpost: Infinite Control For Bash Bunny

Filed under: Bash Bunny,Hardware,My Software,Quickpost — Didier Stevens @ 11:25

I already used a Teensy to send a CONTROL keypress every 10 seconds. This came in handy to keep machines from going to sleep or auto-locking.

Today I wrote a script for my Bash Bunny to do the same.

Warning: if you use this, make sure you unplug the Bash Bunny before you start typing on the computer. Otherwise the CONTROL keypresses will interfere with your typing, potentially ending up in unwanted commands like CTRL-Q: Quit

Quickpost: Using My Bash Bunny To “Snag Creds From A Locked Machine”

Filed under: Bash Bunny,Entertainment,Hacking,Hardware,Quickpost — Didier Stevens @ 23:22

FYI: This is nothing new, I’m just documenting how I configured and used my new Bash Bunny for “SNAGGING CREDS FROM LOCKED MACHINES” as Mubix explained.

After setting up my Bash Bunny, I used it on a locked Windows 10 machine to get netNTLMv2 hashes, here is the video:

 

After collecting the hashes, I can recover them from the Bash Bunny:

I put my Bash Bunny into arming mode: put the switch in position 3 (switch position closest to the USB connector). I insert my Bash Bunny in my Windows machine. The removable storage on the Bash Bunny gets assigned drive letter D: on my machine.

Inside folder D:\loot\quickcreds there are folders created each time I use this payload on a machine. Here is the content for the Windows 10 machine I collected hashes from (DESKTOP-DEMO):

File Proxy-Auth-NTLMv2-172.16.64.10.txt contains the hashes:

These can be cracked, for example with John The Ripper:

Here is what I did to setup my Bash Bunny after unboxing it:

First I updated the payloads on my Bash Bunny from the GitHub repository.

I put my Bash Bunny into arming mode: put the switch in position 3 (switch position closest to the USB connector). I insert my Bash Bunny in my Windows machine. The removable storage on the Bash Bunny gets assigned drive letter D: on my machine.

I copy the content of the GitHub repository payloads folder to the payloads folder on the Bash Bunny: d:\payloads\ (overwriting existing files).

To install the tools: I copy D:\payloads\library\tools_installer\ to D:\payloads\switch1\ (overwriting existing files).

I eject the Bash Bunny, put the switch in position 1 (payload 1, switch position closest to the LED). I insert the Bash Bunny in my Windows machine, and wait for a white solid LED: this takes about 10 seconds.

I eject the Bash Bunny, put the switch in position 3 and re-insert it into my Windows machine.

Then I set the QuickCreds payload (responder) as payload 2 on my Bash Bunny: copy D:\payloads\library\QuickCreds\ to D:\payloads\switch2\ (overwriting existing files).

I eject the Bash Bunny, put the switch in position 2 (payload 2, switch position in the middle) and insert it into my test Windows machine. After some time, the Bash Bunny displays a green LED, indicating that hashes were collected.
