Every time someone mentions rubber ducky, half the replies think it's a bath toy and the other half act like it's magic hacker gear. I was reading privacy and security threads when it came up again. I watched demos, read arguments, saw people repeating things they heard elsewhere. I’m trying to figure out what part is real use and what part is internet theater.
Some people say a rubber ducky is a legit tool for authorized testing and quick payload demos but others make it sound like every office is one USB stick away from disaster. I’m wondering what is the truth buried under all this drama. Where does it actually fit for normal people? Is this something mostly for training and professional testing, or does it matter in everyday privacy discussions too?For people who know the space, is rubber ducky genuinely useful or mostly hype?
