## What it is
Brutal is a Linux toolkit for generating HID attack payloads for Teensy boards, similar to a Rubber Ducky but with different syntax. It creates PowerShell and virus-style payloads plus listeners without requiring coding, targeting Windows machines.

## Use cases
- generate teensy hid payloads for penetration testing
- create powershell attack payloads without coding
- emulate keyboard to run scripts on a target machine
- launch listener for reverse shell payload
- badusb attack toolkit alternative to rubber ducky

## When to choose
- you use Teensy hardware for authorized HID security testing
- you want payload generation without writing code
- your targets are Windows machines

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling (last release 2020)
- your targets are not Windows
- you use Rubber Ducky rather than Teensy hardware

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: penetration-testing, security, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, hardware
- platform: cli, embedded
- tags: hid-attacks, teensy, badusb, payload-generation, powershell-attack, rubber-ducky, linux
