HID attacks

A Human Interface Device (HID) attack converts a Kali NetHunter device, such as a smartphone with on-the-go (OTG) support, into a pre-programmed keyboard. If a penetration tester uses an OTG cable to create a physical connection between the Kali NetHunter device and a target computer, NetHunter has the capabilities of creating an attack vector. The vector uses a combination of the phone’s hardware and software to create a pre-programmed keyboard. The purpose of the pre-programmed keyboard is to inject script attacks into the target system.

According to the official documentation on Kali NetHunter, USB HID attacks are only available on Teensy devices. Teensy devices can be found at https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/.
