Dave-ee Jones Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Still confused as to why it's called a MITM attack when it's a squirrel that's nuts for networks..SITM makes a lot more sense here :P But anyway, watched the livestream (without the 'live' part, sadly), interesting that Hak5 brought out 2 more variants of the LAN Turtle as the Packet Squirrel basically replaces the LAN Turtle while adding loads more features. The Packet Squirrel does look quite interesting, still considering if it's worth the $73 USD.. Also, @Sebkinne (sorry for tagging you but I wanted to tell you..) the documentation for the Packet Squirrel is really good! Is that your work? It would be good if the same could be done for other devices (specifically the Bash Bunny..)

sundhaug92 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't say the Packet Squirrel replaces the basic LAN Turtle for example because you can use the LAN Turtle with devices that don't have a RJ45-connector Edited October 21, 2017 by sundhaug92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what the LAN Turtle does anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The Packet Squirrel is ethernet to ethernet, with the possibility of using USB storage to store loot, so it has to act as an USB host. The LAN Turtle is USB to ethernet, so it's a USB client. While the Packet Squirrel has USB-A, it's a female connector for external storage. The Packet Squirrel gets power from micro-USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misunderstand, I meant you could use a USB-to-ethernet adapter for the Packet Squirrel. However, yes, I believe you are correct in terms of the USB types of each device.

Depends on the situation. For example, a USB-ethernet adapter + cabling + packet squirrel costs more than the Turtle and it looks more suspicious.

Rkiver Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Looking at both in front of me, depending on the situation would define which I would use. I know many a comms rack where a lan turtle would have questions asked, but a squirrel would not. And I know many places where a USB to ethernet adapter is perfectly fine and no one would question it. Know your deployment area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
