Unveiling Exploitation Potential: A Comparative Analysis of Flipper Zero and Rubber Ducky

Penetration testing is an important security control to ensure that unsolicited malware or threat vectors are not allowed access to the private network. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the Rubber Ducky and Flipper Zero devices as tools for penetration testing in physical and network security domains. The study assesses their effectiveness in simulating real-world attack scenarios and their adaptability in different threat situations. The goal is to provide a comprehensive guide for leveraging these devices to improve organizational defenses against physical and network-based threats. This research is intended to raise awareness and facilitate informed decision-making among security professionals, policymakers, and technology enthusiasts by outlining the capabilities, benefits, and risks associated with these devices. The findings indicate that the Flipper Zero device, due to its robustness and versatility in network security, should be seriously considered as a potential security threat. The paper also identifies the implications of the study and its limitations.
