Navigating Challenges in Physical Penetration Testing: The Rise of New Tools Beyond the USB Rubber Ducky

Physical penetration is critical to security assessments, providing invaluable insights into an organization’s current physical security controls against adversaries. A staple in the toolbox of every pentester, devices like the USB Rubber Ducky have long served as the backbone for simulating malicious attacks via seemingly benign hardware. However, their usage comes with significant challenges, especially as security environments grow increasingly complex and aware.

This talk discusses employing hardware-based tools such as the USB Rubber Ducky in physical penetration tests. We will explore the common hurdles that pentesters face, including the increased security measures to detect and deter such devices and the evolving landscape of digital security that demands more sophisticated approaches.

A significant portion of the presentation will focus on real-world examples where physical penetration tools have been employed. These case studies will highlight successful strategies and lessons learned from the field, providing attendees with a practical understanding of how such devices can be both a boon and a bane in security testing.

The session will culminate with the reveal of a new tool designed to overcome the limitations of traditional hardware-based penetration testing devices. This solution promises to enhance the effectiveness and stealth of physical security assessments, equipped with advanced capabilities to evade detection and execute a broader range of exploits more safely and efficiently.
