FIGURE 8.21 The haxtar. The haxtar features a BeagleBoard-xM, 7 in. touch screen, wireless adapter, RFID reader, and Bluetooth radio hidden inside a gaming system guitar. The same idea could be used for a drone by omitting the 7 in. touch screen. This haxtar was built by one of my students for a school project involving information leakage via RFID. FIGURE 8.22 Wired drone. This drone is configured to be installed on the back of a computer. It has USB power to the network hub and the drone. The network switch is powered by a Y-cable that should allow a currently used USB port to provide power to the switch. If hidden under an unused desk, a DC power adapter can replace the USB power. A compact AC to USB power adapter could be used in such a case. FIGURE 8.23 Wireless battery-powered drone. Note that a shorter USB cable could be used. The longer cable can be coiled and allows greater flexibility, however. I have tied everything together with string. Velcro straps, rubber bands, or small bungee chords could also be used. If you make the battery pack part of the bundle, make sure it is easily and quickly removable for when you need to change the batteries.
220 CHAPTER 8 Keeping your army secret FIGURE 8.24 Wireless USB-powered drone. This is essentially the same thing as shown in Figure 8.23 but with a USB cable used to provide power to the drone and attached Alfa wireless adapter. As before, a shorter USB cable could be used to attach the Alfa to the BeagleBone. Keep in mind that no USB connectivity is required by this configuration, only power. An unused USB port on any device is all that is required to operate this drone. INITIAL HIDING In the ideal situation, devices are planted inside when nobody is around. This can be a challenge, however. The building may be locked. It is worth asking your client for keys. Alternatively, you could try out your lock-picking skills. If your client’s locks are easily picked, that is something they would likely want to know. Lock picking and physical penetration testing are beyond the scope of this book. The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers (TOOOL) can be a good source of information (http://toool.us). Deviant Ollam has written two books on lock picking, Practical Lock Picking and Keys to the Kingdom, both published by Syngress, which might prove useful to the novice picker. I do not recommend you attempt to learn lock picking during a penetration test. Only attempt this if you have experience and a reasonable expectation of success. Merely gaining access after hours may not be enough if there is a security system at the client’s office. If the client is unwilling to give up a security code, you might have to find another way to gain access after hours. If this is not easily done, you may have to resort to planting devices while others are present. Planting devices while other people are around may require some social engineering. My definition of social engineering is pretending to be something you are not in order to get someone to give you something they should not (in this case, access to the facility). There are many good social engineers to learn from in this world. Kevin Mitnick is perhaps one of the better known social engineers. His book The Art of Deception is a highly recommended reading. Christopher Hadnagy is a more contemporary social engineer. He has written two books on the subject including Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking,which has a chapter on pretexting. A good amount of information on pretexting can be found at http://www.social-engineer.org/framework/Social_Engineering_Framework. Pretexting is the creation of a story that allows you to gain access to a site or information that you would not normally receive. Successful pretexting requires research and planning. What works well in one situation might utterly fail in another. For
