bad USBs are SCARY!! (build one with a Raspberry Pi Pico for $8)

What you might think is just a regular usb flash drive is actually a BAD USB (badusb), a device designed by hackers to hack your computer. In this video, I’m going to show you how to use one and build one with a Raspberry Pi Pico.

I quit my job as a store manager for a fortune 500 company, went back to school for cyber security and now work in I.T. because of you. Great stuff, Chuck! Thanks!

My grandma often forgets how to do some things on her computer. I tell her and she writes down the steps but that's not always reliable because she can lose the paper she wrote on. I'd do something like this but write a script that would perform whatever task she doesn't know how to do for herself and it's as simple as inserting the device. Thanks for the video Chuck! ❤

When i was studying ICT, one of our first lessons was computer lab etiquette.
Always, before you leave your computer, hit Win+L on the keyboard to logout. Always.

As a result, now whenever i get up and leave my own PC even at home, 5 years later, i still instinctively spread my pinkie and thumb out and slam those keys, even if i leave my PC for only a few seconds.

Thanks teach. Good lesson ya taught me.

Im glad I found this channel. You're easily becoming one of my favorite content creators. Gz man

I’m a teacher, I’m going to label it the bad drive “grade book” and drop in the the classroom.

@NetworkChuck
im having issues with those characters '
I was trying out the Powershell Scripts for the Wifi passwords.

for example if im writing a string, it never accepts the end quote.
Im using us international Keyboard layout.

Sometimes it changes 'hello' to 'hello (with ' on top)

Any Ideas what my issue could be?
Thanks

One question. When I insert the usb, how do I disable the virus once it activates without affecting the USB script?

[GodModeMaker]

To stop Raspberry Pi from running script, you can add a physical switch on the board and edit the code to check if the switch is on or off. And based on that, run the script or not. I used this method on an Arduino Nano. I hope it helps 😁

Imagine if someone left that USB somewhere, but instead of hacking people who plug it in, they open YouTube and show your video to educate them.

Now that's a "Good USB"

[StanTheBrand]

That brought back memories! Back in the day we would modify network login scripts to play “A CERTAIN VIDEO” and the more you press keys the faster the video would play! IT fun.

[GentlemenOfTheWorld]

Cool video NetworkChuck! Would it be possible to use a Raspberry Pi as a "Quarantine Station" - ie a standalone device that can check any USB for malware or viruses before they are plugged into a PC/Laptop?

[davidmalka]

Alright chuck you convinced me, I'm doing this to my friend! Just one thing, how do you stop the rick roll once it started

[Darkk]

For the Raspberry Pi PICO you could use one of the inputs to create a "safe" mode before plugging into your computer. This way you wouldn't have to keep using the reset and re-do everything.

[TheModSmith]

Hi Chuck! Cool video. You actually can disable the Pico coming up as a storage device by bridging pins 18 and 20 on the board. Keep in mind that you will have to get rid of this bridge in order to change the payload again.

I picked up a flash drive as a kid and plugged it into a laptop we had, luckily it was just a normal flash drive, but I'm glad I watched this video. I actually still have the flash drive too.

[babyyodar]

gosh you're probably the funniest and most lively programming, hacking channels ever! I loved the rick roll dude, keep it up! :)

[troyt]

The Rick Roll is classic. Thanks for including that, too. Made my day.

[muso]

Thank you for sharing and warn us of them.
sometimes it makes me scared cause I'm really not good in computer. I even don't understand all you were showing us especially on some letters lots of enters and py or pie..
But at least I can get from your video is "do not use unauthorized USB storage". I keep it in mind thank you again.

[grannylizj]

Chuck, Another great video! BTW, what enclosure did you use for the Pico, and where can I find it for sale? Thanks.
