John Deere USB hack

So, all those USB drives you get handed at trade shows, full of marketing bumbf and stuff like that?

You know they can do all kinds of things to any computer you stick them into, right?

Just the latest example: John Deere has one that pretends to be a keyboard, calls up a browser window, and types in their URL.

Oh, I should just go to the tradeshow to pick few of those up instead of programming my own microcontrollers.

Those things should be restricted to the use by security professionals and law enforcement.

It's getting way to easy to get a Rubber ducky, bash bunny, USB Ninja and a plethora of other offensive tools https://shop.hak5.org/

I guess we'll be busy for a while.
