Using Android as Rubber Ducky against Android or Windows. This is not a new technique, just a demo how to perform HID attack using Android instead of rubber ducky. For targeted Android device it is not necessary to be rooted, have ADB/USB debugging enabled and device authorized, since attacker’s smartphone behaves as connected keyboard.
