WiFi Ducky is a Wi-Fi controlled BadUSB device built from an ESP8266 and ATmega32U4 that uploads, saves, and remotely executes Ducky Script keystroke injection payloads via a web interface. It emulates a USB keyboard on a target machine, similar to the Hak5 USB Rubber Ducky but with remote Wi-Fi control.

Use cases

• remotely execute ducky script payloads over wifi
• build a diy badusb keystroke injection device with esp8266
• upload and manage ducky scripts from a web interface
• turn an atmega32u4 arduino into a wifi-controlled rubber ducky
• run keystroke injection attacks remotely for pentesting demos
• host payloads on an esp8266 and trigger them wirelessly

When to choose

• you want a cheap DIY alternative to the USB Rubber Ducky with remote Wi-Fi control
• you already have an ESP8266 and ATmega32U4 and want to flash a ready-made firmware
• you need to upload, store, and run Ducky Scripts from a browser over Wi-Fi

When to avoid

• you want the actively developed successor — use spacehuhn/WiFiDuck instead
• you need a plug-and-play commercial device rather than a DIY hardware build
• you need USB HID injection without Wi-Fi or without soldering hardware together
