Read More…A compact, covert USB payload cable designed for developers, red-teamers, and security researchers who need a ready-to-use hardware platform for authorized USB automation and testing. This cable combines a programmable microcontroller inside a standard USB-A to USB-C cable form factor, letting you emulate human interface devices (HID), present virtual storage, and run preconfigured payloads — all while looking like an ordinary charging/data cable.
Key Features
Programmable payload storage: load multiple payload files and switch between them quickly.
HID (keyboard/mouse) emulation and virtual mass-storage emulation supported for legitimate automation and testing workflows.
Plugs into a host as a normal USB cable — stealthy physical form factor ideal for lab testing and device automation.
Reprogrammable via USB and compatible configuration toolchain (see docs).
Small, integrated controller with nonvolatile storage for payload persistence.
LED indicator for device state and safe mode.
Durable braided cable and reinforced strain relief for long-term use.
What’s Included
1 × Programmable USB-A to USB-C payload cable (assembled & tested).
1 × Quick start card describing safe mode and update procedure.
1 × USB configuration cable or adapter (if required for the product revision).
What’s Not Included
Payload libraries or offensive payloads are not included — you supply or develop payloads according to local law and policy.
Any form of guarantee for results when used on third-party systems without permission.
Use-Cases & Applications (Ethical / Authorized Only)
Red-team and penetration testers: streamline authorized USB test cases in controlled engagements.
Security researchers: automate repeatable device interactions for vulnerability validation.
Device QA & automation: perform scripted setup sequences or UI automation on owned devices.
Makers & developers: prototype HID workflows or test device drivers and host responses.
Training labs: teach USB threat models and defensive controls in a controlled environment.
Why This Cable Is Different Unlike commodity USB cables or DIY rigs, this product is purpose-built for safe, repeatable payload deployment with onboard storage and a standard cable form-factor. It’s assembled and tested to be reliable in field and lab conditions, with a focus on developer usability and stealthy form without sacrificing durability.
Getting Started (high-level)
Read the Quick Start card included with the cable.
Put the device into configuration mode (safe mode) before connecting to sensitive hosts.
Use the official configuration tool (link in docs) to upload or manage payload files.
Test all payloads only on systems you own or where you have explicit permission.
Keep firmware and payload tool versions up to date; always follow the documentation.
Documentation & Support Full documentation, firmware files, configuration tools, and troubleshooting guides are available online (link in product page). We provide community and email support for setup and compatibility questions. If you need advanced customization or preinstall services, reach out before purchase.
