7) Simple OMG Cable

Introduction to the OMG Cable

The OMG Cable is a powerful and versatile USB device designed for advanced penetration testing and red teaming exercises. This device can emulate various types of USB peripherals, including keyboards, network adapters, and storage devices. This versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of penetration testing and red teaming scenarios.

The OMG Cable is designed to be plugged into a target computer and execute pre-programmed scripts or payloads, making it a powerful tool for simulating real-world attacks.

How It Works

The OMG Cable works by emulating a Human Interface Device (HID), specifically a keyboard, network adapter, or storage device. When plugged into a computer, it can send a series of keystrokes, inject network traffic, or present itself as a storage device to deploy payloads. The device is programmed using a simple, easy-to-understand language, allowing for a wide range of customization. Get Your Full OMG Kit Here

Key Components

• Microcontroller: The brain of the device, which executes the pre-programmed scripts or payloads.
• USB Interface: Allows the device to communicate with the target computer.
• Memory: Stores the scripts or payloads that define the actions to be taken.
• LED Indicators: Provide visual feedback on the device’s status and mode.

Capabilities and Uses

The OMG Cable’s versatility makes it a valuable tool for a wide range of cybersecurity tasks. Here are some of its key capabilities and uses:

• Automated Tasks: Automate repetitive tasks, such as opening web browsers, logging into systems, and executing commands.
• Payload Deployment: Deploy malicious payloads, such as backdoors, keyloggers, and ransomware.
• Data Exfiltration: Extract sensitive data from the target system.
• Network Injection: Inject malicious network traffic to exploit vulnerabilities.
• Persistence: Create persistent backdoors to maintain access to the target system.
• Evading Detection: Bypass security measures, such as antivirus software and firewalls, by mimicking legitimate USB devices.

Common Scenarios

The OMG Cable is particularly useful in the following scenarios:

• Penetration Testing: Simulate real-world attacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in a controlled environment.
• Red Teaming: Conduct advanced, adversary-simulation exercises to test an organization’s defenses.
• Social Engineering: Use in combination with social engineering techniques to gain unauthorized access to systems.
• Incident Response: Quickly deploy tools and gather evidence during incident response operations.

Creating Payloads

Creating payloads for the OMG Cable involves writing scripts that define the actions to be taken. These scripts can be written in various languages, depending on the specific use case. Here’s a basic example of a script that opens a command prompt and runs a command:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void main() {
    // Open a command prompt
    system("cmd.exe");

    // Run a command
    system("ipconfig");

    // Exit the command prompt
    system("exit");
}

This script opens the Command Prompt, runs the ipconfig command to display network configuration details, and then exits the Command Prompt.

Key Commands

• system(): Executes a command in the command prompt.
• cmd.exe: Opens the Command Prompt.
• ipconfig: Displays network configuration details.
• exit: Exits the Command Prompt.
