BadUSB Jumpscare

This project is automatic shell script that surprises users with a jumpscare by downloading a random creepy image and sound when the USB is plugged in. It can also be run directly from power shell.

Inspiration

We wanted to create something creepy for halloween.

What it does

When the badUSB is plugged in or the power shell command is run, the computer downloads an image of a cat, creepy monster and sound. All tabs are minimised, and the volume is set to 50. It first shows the image a cat, which acts as a fakeout, but as soon as any mouse movement is detected a Jumpscare occurs.

How we built it

One team member set up the Flipper Zero as badUSB while the other coded the script it would run.

Challenges we ran into

Neither of us had experience making a badUSB or with any of the technologies used: Flipper Zero, power shell scripting, ducky script, etc. More specific issues were that we couldn't get the images and sound to play sometimes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Managed to make the project executable without needing to have a USB.

What we learned

Always double check your links.

What's next for BadUSB Jumpscare

Planning on increasing the mount of images and also add more sounds.
