There are currently two versions of the Packet Squirrel. The original Packet Squirrel can be identified by the micro-usb power port, while the Packet Squirrel Mark II can be identified by the USB-C power port.
Please make sure you select payloads for the device you have!
Payloads for the original Packet Squirrel be found in the legacy-mk1/ directory.
The Packet Squirrel Mark II payloads can be found in the payloads/ directory.
The Packet Squirrel Mark II expands the DuckyScript for Packet Squirrel commands and adds many new commands and features. In general, payloads from the original Packet Squirrel can be adapted to run on the Packet Squirrel Mark II by adopting the new commands - check out the Packet Squirrel Mark II Payload documentation for more information!
The existing suite of original Packet Squirrel payloads remains available and functional on the original hardware in the legacy-mk1/ directory!

The Packet Squirrel Mark II by Hak5 is a stealthy pocket-sized man-in-the-middle.
This Ethernet multi-tool is designed to give you covert remote access, painless packet captures, and secure VPN connections with the flip of a switch.
Hak5 Packet Squirrel Features
The Packet Squirrel Mark II is an Ethernet multi-tool for packet capture, man-in-the-middle network manipulation, stream filtering and redirection, remote VPN access, and more.
Use simplified DuckyScript for Packet Squirrel to create payloads, or unlock the full power of Bash script or Python 3 for complex payloads.
Edit payloads live in the Web UI editor with syntax highlighting, SSH, or build your payloads with Payload Studio.
Exfiltrate data or pentest from anywhere with Hak5 Cloud C².
DuckyScript is the payload language of Hak5 gear.
Originating on the Hak5 USB Rubber Ducky as a standalone language, the Packet Squirrel uses DuckyScript commands to bring the ethos of easy-to-use actions to the payload language.
DuckyScript commands are always in all capital letters to distinguish them from other system or script language commands. Typically, they take a small number of options (or sometimes no options at all).
Payloads can be constructed of DuckyScript commands alone, or combined with the power of bash scripting and system commands to create fully custom, advanced actions.
The files in this repository are the source code for your payloads and run directly on the device no compilation required - simply place your payload.txt in the appropriate directory and you're ready to go!
Take your DuckyScript™ payloads to the next level with this full-featured, web-based (entirely client side) development environment.
Payload studio features all of the conveniences of a modern IDE, right from your browser. From syntax highlighting and auto-completion to live error-checking and repo synchronization - building payloads for Hak5 hotplug tools has never been easier!
Supports your favorite Hak5 gear - USB Rubber Ducky, Bash Bunny, Key Croc, Shark Jack, Packet Squirrel & LAN Turtle!

Hak5 Cloud C² Web Interface
Cloud C² is a self-hosted web-based command and control suite for networked Hak5 gear that lets you pentest from anywhere.
Linux, Mac and Windows computers can host the Cloud C² server while Hak5 gear such as the WiFi Pineapple, LAN Turtle and Packet Squirrel can be provisioned as clients.
Once you have the Cloud C² server running on a public-facing machine (such as a VPS) and the Hak5 devices are provisioned and deployed, you can login to the Cloud C² web interface to manage these devices as if you were directly connected.
With multiple Hak5 devices deployed at a client site, aggregated data provides a big picture view of the wired and wireless environments.

Once you have developed your payload, you are encouraged to contribute to this repository by submitting a Pull Request. Reviewed and Approved pull requests will add your payload to this repository, where they may be publically available.
Payloads should be submitted to the most appropriate category directory, such as exfiltration, interception, recon, sniffing, etc.
Subject to change. Please ensure any submissions meet the latest version of these standards before submitting a Pull Request.
Please give your payload a unique, descriptive and appropriate name. Do not use spaces in payload, directory or file names. Each payload should be submit into its own directory, with - or _ used in place of spaces, to one of the categories such as exfiltration, interception, sniffing, or recon. Do not create your own category.
The payload itself should be named payload.
Additional files and documentation can be included in the payload directory. Documentation should be in README.md or README.txt.
In many cases, payloads will require some level of configuration by the end payload user. Be sure to take the following into careful consideration to ensure your payload is easily tested, used and maintained.
- Remember to use PLACEHOLDERS for configurable portions of your payload - do not share your personal URLs, API keys, Passphrases, etc...
- Do not leave defaults that point at live services
- Make note of both required and optional configuration(s) in your payload using comments at the top of your payload or "inline" where applicable
Payloads should begin with comments specifying at the very least the name of the payload and author. Additional information such as a brief description, the target, any dependencies / prerequisites and the LED status used is helpful.
# Title: Example payload
# Description: Example payload with configuration options
# Author: Hak5
# Version: 1.0
# Category: Remote-Access
# Net Mode: NAT
#
# LED State Descriptions
# Magenta Solid - Configuring NETMODE
# LED OFF - Waiting for BUTTON
# Red Blink 2 Times - Connection Failed
# Amber Blink 5 Times - Connection Successful
# Red Blink 1 Time - Command Failed
# Cyan Blink 1 Time - Command Successful
Configurable options should be specified in variables at the top of the payload file:
# Options
SSH_USER="username"
SSH_HOST="hostname"
PORT=31337
All payloads should include a NETMODE command to set the Packet Squirrel to a useful network mode.
When in doubt, NETMODE NAT is a reasonable default.
The payload should use common payload states rather than unique color/pattern combinations when possible with an LED command preceding the Stage or NETMODE.
LED SETUP
NETMODE NAT
Common payload states include a SETUP, with may include a FAIL if certain conditions are not met. This is typically followed by either a single ATTACK or multiple STAGEs. More complex payloads may include a SPECIAL function to wait until certain conditions are met. Payloads commonly end with a CLEANUP phase, such as moving and deleting files or stopping services. A payload may FINISH when the objective is complete and the device is safe to eject or turn off. These common payload states correspond to LED states.
