## What it is
BlueDucky is a Python tool that exploits CVE-2023-45866, an unauthenticated Bluetooth peering vulnerability, to execute keystroke injection attacks via HID keyboard emulation. It accepts DuckyScript payloads and targets previously paired but no longer visible Bluetooth devices.

## Use cases
- exploit CVE-2023-45866 on vulnerable Bluetooth devices
- inject keystrokes into phones via Bluetooth HID
- run DuckyScript payloads over Bluetooth
- scan and save nearby Bluetooth devices for later targeting
- test Bluetooth security of Android devices

## When to choose
- you need to demonstrate the BlueDucky CVE-2023-45866 vulnerability in a pentest
- you want to send DuckyScript keystroke payloads over Bluetooth
- you have a Linux machine with a compatible Bluetooth adapter

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose Bluetooth security scanner
- you require a maintained tool with a license and broad hardware support
- your target devices are patched against CVE-2023-45866
