This project explores USB device emulation attacks—commonly called BadUSB—by demonstrating how commodity USB hardware can impersonate keyboards, network adapters, or storage devices to perform scripted actions on a host. It typically contains firmware examples, payloads, and explanations showing how a device presenting as a Human Interface Device (HID) can inject keystrokes, open shells, or orchestrate data exfiltration when plugged into a machine.

...The repository bundles many focused scripts: code to enumerate system and Active Directory information, payload generation helpers, in-memory execution utilities, and modules to interact with credentials and services. Because the modules can be used to both demonstrate weaknesses and to exploit them, the project is typically referenced in threat emulation, penetration testing, and defensive research to understand attacker capabilities. Responsible use centers on authorized assessments: defenders use the toolkit to validate monitoring and detection, while operators apply its lessons to patch, harden, and instrument systems.
