Just seen this over on twitter ... was quite shocked.

USB-C Cable even without charger, that has other rogue wiring and chipset to load mini terminal code. Not sure the full extent but it is interesting.
GitHub.

BadUSB Cable #2. HID attack through an Apple MacBook USB-C charger. Great for shared workspaces! Build info coming this month. Still working out some things. These cables work on just about any device with a USB port (Mac/Win/Linux, phones too)

Do you plan to make the same kind of video targeting a Windows PC?

Don't have a windows machine handy. Else I would. These cables are agnostic. You just change the specific key sequence.

Kind of wish I did though. Too many people think this is Apple specific despite me saying it's not.

Yeah, we need a separate post about the art you’ve been using!

The music, terminal effects, ascii, or? Was going to cite all in writeup, but good to know what is of interest.

Terminal effects and ascii for me, but it’s all great!

I actually started to do exactly that. It's possible but a pain to do. Plus you are then locked to the power brick. This cable method translates to most of the USB-C peripherals & dongles.

wasn't that a Magsafe charger you left in the conference room though?

Nah. May look like it due to the cable being a bit worn. You can see the USB-C end at 0:59-1:01.

A faster attack would be to literally get on the unlocked computer and do whatever you want

Faster than what? This was an intentionally visual demo. You can't type as fast as this thing types. That's one of the big values in BadUSB attacks.

Appreciate it! This was only supposed to be a one-off but I keep seeing new opportunities.

Have you looked into hacking @TREZOR or @LedgerHQ products? Would be interested to see.

I'm guessing https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html … and a very tiny chip?

I tried that with the ATTINY85,but USB didn't work reliably across the PCs in the office. Wanted to use it for pen testing...

What was the circuit? Was it detection or timing issues? USB is a mess of specs. Not universal at all. Throw off a resistor or some voltage and some machines freak. Hak5's ducky uses a similar but beefier Atmel chip.

detection; failed to enumerate on some machines, mostly on USB3 ports. hardware: https://www.fasttech.com/products/5054500 … . I think ducky uses a chip with "real" USB support. (I built a gadget which runs VUSB on mega8, has been running 24/7 for 10 years).
