hack like Mr. Robot

About this video

The creator showcases hacking gadgets from the company Hak5, noting these are legitimate tools used by professional penetration testers and warning viewers never to hack anyone without permission. He describes the Wi-Fi Pineapple, a device for testing/hacking wireless and enterprise networks, which he says costs 100 bucks and appeared in the show Silicon Valley; the Key Croc, a USB keylogger that can livestream what someone types remotely, impersonate other device types such as storage or Ethernet when plugged in, and run payloads triggered by typed key combinations; the Shark Jack, a USB-sized device with an Ethernet port that scans a network (running Nmap-style activity) and executes scripts, signaling completion with a green light; the USB Rubber Ducky, a long-standing pen-tester tool that appeared in Mr. Robot and which he claims can crack a Windows password in 15 seconds; and the Screen Crab, an HDMI man-in-the-middle device placed between a computer and its monitor that remotely captures screen images. He gives three reasons for the video: the tools are cool, he is receiving some and will make videos about them, and he is giving some away — Hak5 provided ten gift cards for the Hak5 store, entered via a link and a secret passphrase revealed in the video, with 24 hours to enter. He also announces a flash giveaway: David Bombal is giving away 500 copies of his Python for Network Engineers course to the first 500 people to click the link in the description.
