A shell script that turns a rooted Android device running Kali NetHunter into a USB HID keyboard that bruteforces the lockscreen PIN of a locked Android phone connected via USB OTG. It requires no root or ADB on the target device and handles lockout backoff timing automatically.

Use cases

• bruteforce a forgotten Android lockscreen PIN
• recover access to a locked Android phone without ADB or USB debugging
• turn a Kali NetHunter phone into a PIN cracking device
• test Android device lockscreen resilience during a physical pentest
• crack PINs of known partial digits using a mask
• avoid buying special hardware like Rubber Ducky or Cellebrite for PIN cracking

When to choose

• you have a rooted NetHunter (or HID-capable) Android device and a locked Android phone
• the target phone has USB debugging disabled and is not rooted
• you want a hardware-free, script-based USB HID PIN cracking approach
• you need configurable backoff delays and optimized PIN lists for 3-6 digit PINs

When to avoid

• the target device is not Android or uses biometric-only locks
• you cannot physically connect the devices via USB OTG
• you need a fast or stealthy unlock - full 4-digit cracking takes over 16 hours
• you require a maintained tool with a license or formal installation process
