Fitzy789 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hello I have been on a bit of a hiatus from hacking and general tech enthusiasm. And recently started getting back into things and i have been going through all my devices. I have been struggling to get my key croc to work as when I would connect it, it would work fine (as in the keyboard would type) but none of my payloads would work and it wouldn't key log. to counter this i factory reset it and it seemed to work fine but after it was factory reset nothing had changed as in it was the same firmware and the config file still had my ssid and password saved. to add to this it also struggled to be detected by my computer when it was in arming mode. any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's of course also a possibility that the factory reset wasn't successful. 1 hour ago, Fitzy789 said: it also struggled to be detected by my computer when it was in arming mode In what way does this show? Isn't it entering arming mode straight away? Does it enter arming mode after a while (like after 1 minute roughly)? Is Cloud C2 configured on the Croc?

dark_pyrro Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Tried different USB ports? Different computers? Tried to serial into the Croc when in arming mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy789 Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Update: for the fact its not being able to be recognized by the computer i think this is due to the usb being worn (i think the data line as the power light is normal and uninterrupted) as for the software i am unable to find what the ip is to ssh into the croc and the usb problem is consistent with every usb ive plugged in to. so im unsure how to progress is it just tuff luck or am i able to try get it repaired or do i just have to buy a new one. Its quite frustrating as ive never had this problem with any other hak5 devices. any advice on how to progress would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Fitzy789 Posted June 20 Author Solution Share Posted June 20 I have opened it up and have found one of the main cables that go into the wire is basically snapped im guessing its the data one its been about 2 years since i bought this and i am pretty sure this is the reason and unfortunately i wont be able to get a refund or replacement thank you for your help though.
