Personal implementation of the BadUSB exploit with an Atmel 8-bit AVR ATTiny85 acting as a HID keyboard and opening a reverse shell on the target PC.

Using a DigiSpark clone board bought from China for $1.50, using Digistump drivers, it was possible to use their default library "DigiKeyboard" that enables HID features on the ATTiny and makes it act as a standard keyboard. There is a switch that allows to select which OS to target, either Windows or Unix based systems.

When the unit is plugged in, a new terminal window is opened and a reverse shell on port 8080 is established, without prompting anything to the user. When the script has run, the led will start blinking until unplugged from the USB port.

Simply run nc -l PORT on your machine in order to listen to the incoming connections. Other uses may involve an automatic meterpeter session with permanent payload deployment.

The features still to be fully implemented/functional:

• Non-US keyboard layout;
• Automatic OS recognition.

Here are a couple of issues that needs to be fixed:

• Sometimes the first time the unit is plugged in, the script doesn't get executed;
• A few systems will prompt new hardware installation window and may take a couple of minutes to install the proper drivers (even though the DigiSpark acts as a typical USB keyboard).
