## What it is
A set of shell scripts that turn a rooted Android device into a USB HID keyboard (Rubber Ducky style) to inject keystroke payloads into targeted Android devices or Windows PCs. It demonstrates BadUSB-style HID attacks using Android's USB gadget kernel support, e.g. via NetHunter.

## Use cases
- use android as rubber ducky to attack another android phone
- perform hid keystroke injection attack from android to windows pc
- demo badusb attack using a smartphone and otg cable
- brute-force or bypass android lockscreen via fake keyboard input
- learn how hid attacks work for security awareness training

## When to choose
- you have a rooted Android device with HID kernel support (e.g. NetHunter) and want a free Rubber Ducky alternative
- you want a simple educational PoC of HID attacks against Android or Windows
- you need scriptable keystroke injection payloads from a phone

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, maintained tool with a license and active support
- your Android device is not rooted or lacks USB HID gadget kernel support
- you need a hardware Rubber Ducky with reliable timing and payload formats
