USB Rubber Ducky Payloads is a payload library for the USB Rubber Ducky, a hardware keystroke-injection device used in penetration testing and security research.
The repository addresses the need for ready-to-use attack scripts targeting the USB Rubber Ducky platform. It provides a centralized collection of payloads written in DuckyScript, the official scripting language for the device. These payloads automate keystroke sequences that execute on target systems when the device is plugged in, simulating human input to perform tasks ranging from credential harvesting to system configuration changes. All payloads must be compiled using Hak5 PayloadStudio before deployment, and the repository emphasizes that Hak5 does not guarantee payload functionality.
This repository suits security professionals, penetration testers, and researchers who own or plan to use a USB Rubber Ducky and need working payload examples. It is not a tool for creating payloads from scratch but rather a reference library of community-developed and official scripts. The project encourages community contributions through pull requests, making it a collaborative resource where developers can share, improve, and discover payloads for common attack scenarios. Users should be aware that payloads are provided as-is without official support guarantees.
The project maintains active community engagement through multiple channels including Discord, YouTube, and social media platforms. The repository accepts ongoing community contributions via pull requests, indicating sustained collaborative development. The project runs formal payload competitions with prizes, suggesting organized community involvement beyond typical open-source participation.
