C# Binary to convert input to lock key light sequence

Data2Caps

---

Data2Caps is a C# project that converts messages or files into a sequence of light intervals of the lock keys of a keyboard. This play of lights can be used to exfiltrate those data. This method, also called keystroke reflection, can be used to steal data from isolated systems or to make detection more difficult. Devices such as Hak5's USB Rubber Ducky Mk II can be used to utilize this form of data exfiltration.

This method of exfiltration tends to be slow. Exfiltrating large files or messages may take several minutes, up to multiple hours.

Command Line Usage

Duckyscript example

This example can be utilized to see the binary in action. After everything is set up, use the following payload with your Rubber Ducky Mk II. Wait for the LED to shine in the color red, then execute Data2Caps with the desired message to exfiltrate. The green led will indicate the success. Storage will be opened at the end, so the contents of the loot.bin file can be checked

/file parameter unreliable

Needs some tweaking/guardrails and trouble shooting
