## What it is
WiFi Duck is an open-source firmware for ESP8266 + ATmega32u4 hardware that emulates a USB keyboard to perform keystroke injection (BadUSB) attacks, managed over WiFi via a web interface. It runs Ducky Scripts that can be written, saved, and executed remotely without compiling or SD cards.

## Use cases
- test keystroke injection attacks on my own computers
- build a DIY BadUSB device with ESP8266 and ATmega32u4
- run ducky script payloads over WiFi
- learn how BadUSB attacks work
- remotely edit and deploy HID scripts from a browser
- demonstrate USB keyboard emulation attacks in security training

## When to choose
- you want a WiFi-managed BadUSB tool with a web interface instead of SD cards or apps
- you want a DIY, open-source, well-documented keystroke injection platform
- you need to quickly iterate on Ducky Script payloads for security testing

## When to avoid
- you need a stealthy or fast local-only payload device without WiFi setup
- you want a plug-and-play commercial product rather than flashing your own hardware
- you need USB Rubber Ducky-specific features or newer hardware support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
