Hardware

For my experiments, research, and teaching activities, I rely on Kali Linux OS as my primary platform. To ensure versatility, I maintain multiple copies and versions of Kali Linux, each tailored to run different software for various types of attacks. Additionally, to validate my scripts and test payloads effectively, I operate multiple Windows machines within virtualized environments, utilizing VMware or VirtualBox.

Expanding beyond Kali Linux, I integrate Whonix and Tails into my testing arsenal. Tails, in particular, is installed on a high-capacity 128GB USB drive, with a partition space allocated for persistent storage. This setup enhances privacy and security while affording me the flexibility to conduct a wide range of experiments and assessments across different operating systems and environments.

My personal lab is equipped with some specialized hardware tailored for comprehensive security testing, covering OS, WiFi networks, and diverse attack vectors. From evaluating OS resilience to simulating phishing campaigns and conducting Man-in-the-Middle attacks, I leverage cutting-edge tools to ensure robust defense strategies.

The USB Rubber Ducky — which looks like an innocent flash drive to humans — abuses this trust to deliver powerful payloads, injecting keystrokes at superhuman speeds.

Digistump Digispark, a very small programmable board based on the Attiny85 controller, costs around $8 on the official website, but you can find it even cheaper on eBay or from the websites of other vendors. The Digispark is the cheap version of the USB Rubber Ducky

Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool for pentesters and geeks in a toy-like body. It loves hacking digital stuff, such as radio protocols, access control systems, hardware, and more. It's fully open-source and customizable, so you can extend it in whatever way you like.

2x ALFA Network card. Model ALFA awus036nha. Alfa AWUS036NHA is (personally) one of the best wireless adapters for WiFi hacking and pentesting, ever made by Alfa. It uses the Atheros AR9271 chipset, which means that it will be natively supported by most Linux distributions including Kali Linux. This WiFi adapter is compatible with any brand 802.11g or 802.11n router using 2.4 ghz wave-length and supports MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) with high speed transfer TX data rate up to 150 mbps.

Google Nexus 5 with Kali Linux Nethunter (With External Wifi Adapter). Kali NetHunter is an Android ROM made for security researchers and hackers. Offensive Security, the team behind Kali Linux, makes it. If you ever wanted to do hacking on your phone, NetHunter is the best thing, other than Termux.
