There are currently two versions of the Packet Squirrel. The original Packet Squirrel can be identified by the micro-usb power port, while the Packet Squirrel Mark II can be identified by the USB-C power port.
Please make sure you select payloads for the device you have!
Payloads for the original Packet Squirrel be found in the `legacy-mk1/` directory.
The Packet Squirrel Mark II payloads can be found in the `payloads/` directory.
The Packet Squirrel Mark II expands the DuckyScript for Packet Squirrel commands and adds many new commands and features. In general, payloads from the original Packet Squirrel can be adapted to run on the Packet Squirrel Mark II by adopting the new commands - check out the [Packet Squirrel Mark II Payload documentation](https://docs.hak5.org/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/payload-development/duckyscript-for-packet-squirrel) for more information!
The existing suite of original Packet Squirrel payloads remains available and functional on the original hardware in the `legacy-mk1/` directory!

The Packet Squirrel Mark II is an Ethernet multi-tool for packet capture, man-in-the-middle network manipulation, stream filtering and redirection, remote VPN access, and more.
Originating on the Hak5 USB Rubber Ducky as a standalone language, the Packet Squirrel uses DuckyScript commands to bring the ethos of easy-to-use actions to the payload language.
DuckyScript commands are always in all capital letters to distinguish them from other system or script language commands. Typically, they take a small number of options (or sometimes no options at all).
Payloads can be constructed of DuckyScript commands alone, or combined with the power of bash scripting and system commands to create fully custom, advanced actions.
The files in this repository are _the source code_ for your payloads and run _directly on the device_**no compilation required** - simply place your `payload.txt` in the appropriate directory and you're ready to go!

Once you have developed your payload, you are encouraged to contribute to this repository by submitting a Pull Request. Reviewed and Approved pull requests will add your payload to this repository, where they may be publically available.
# Please adhere to the following best practices and style guides when submitting a payload.
### Purely destructive or invasive payloads will not be accepted. No, it's not "just a prank".
Payloads should be submitted to the most appropriate category directory, such as exfiltration, interception, recon, sniffing, etc.
Subject to change. Please ensure any submissions meet the [latest version](https://github.com/hak5/packetsquirrel-payloads/blob/master/README.md) of these standards before submitting a Pull Request.
## Naming Conventions
Please give your payload a unique, descriptive and appropriate name. Do not use spaces in payload, directory or file names. Each payload should be submit into its own directory, with `-` or `_` used in place of spaces, to one of the categories such as exfiltration, interception, sniffing, or recon. Do not create your own category.
In many cases, payloads will require some level of configuration by the end payload user. Be sure to take the following into careful consideration to ensure your payload is easily tested, used and maintained.
- Remember to use PLACEHOLDERS for configurable portions of your payload - do not share your personal URLs, API keys, Passphrases, etc...
- Do not leave defaults that point at live services
- Make note of both required and optional configuration(s) in your payload using comments at the top of your payload or "inline" where applicable
Payloads should begin with comments specifying at the very least the name of the payload and author. Additional information such as a brief description, the target, any dependencies / prerequisites and the LED status used is helpful.
The payload should use common payload states rather than unique color/pattern combinations when possible with an LED command preceding the Stage or `NETMODE`.
Common payload states include a `SETUP`, with may include a `FAIL` if certain conditions are not met. This is typically followed by either a single `ATTACK` or multiple `STAGEs`. More complex payloads may include a `SPECIAL` function to wait until certain conditions are met. Payloads commonly end with a `CLEANUP` phase, such as moving and deleting files or stopping services. A payload may `FINISH` when the objective is complete and the device is safe to eject or turn off. These common payload states correspond to `LED` states.
