Abstract: | Nowadays there are myriads of tools aimed at attacking the security of IT devices (such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, servers, security cameras,...). Moreover, the public availability of affordable or even free hardware and software tools has recently increased (mostly thanks to the Internet). In this work several types of attacks (stealing of credentials, getting of administration privileges, hosts file poisoning, man-in-the-middle, password cracking,...) are analyzed by performing proofs of concept. In order to do so we use both hardware and software tools that have appeared in the last years: USB Rubber Ducky, WiFi Pineapple Nano and Kali Nethunter, also indicating their potential, possible implications on the security world and measures to prevent these attack vectors. As a conclusion, these tools allow anybody to launch attacks easily, even if they do not have technical knowledge about the topic. Some of these attacks are limited by the portable hardware used, but most of them have full efficacy and some of them are even imperceptible for the victim. Together with both the continuous growth in Internet connected devices and the increase in online activity, it can be presaged that a rise of common attacks is about to come. Consequently, there is a need for using updated software and configure it properly in order to be protected. |
