# Rubberducky USB
The Rubber Ducky USB is a product developed by Hak5, a leading provider of cybersecurity tools and pentesting equipment. At first glance, it resembles a regular USB flash drive, but it's actually a specialized device designed to emulate a keyboard when connected to a computer. This unique feature allows it to execute pre-programmed keystroke payloads, making it a potent tool for automating tasks and executing payloads on target systems.
