OMG Cable - The New Batch
Now in USB C, the implant is much smaller, but it’s even more powerful than before.
Smartphone/tablet attacks, extreme long range triggers, geofencing, etc.

- I like to read replies to posts like this just to remind myself how misinformed the general public is about “USB-C” So here is a thread looking at a few of them… 🧵1Thunderbolt is so cool to me. like. you're telling me this one cable is; charging my laptop at 90W, providing a 5k60 video output, using the 3 USB3 ports on the back of my display as a hub, receiving video from my display's webcam, and sending hi-res audio to my display.
- Seems Discord is having trouble mapping push notifications to the correct users. This was a DM sent between 2 other people. I did not receive the DM but I did receive this push notification. 😂 I bet this is connected to their new username change rollout.
- BadUSB Cable #2. HID attack through an Apple MacBook USB-C charger. Great for shared workspaces! Build info coming this month. Still working out some things. These cables work on just about any device with a USB port (Mac/Win/Linux, phones too)
00:00 - Replying to @_MG_First, USB-C is a specification for the physical connector. NOT the protocol. And it intentionally supports multiple protocols like USB, USB-PD, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, HDMI, PCIe, etc. Some protocols exclusively use USB-c, like USB-4, Thunderbolt 3 & 4, USB-PD. 🧵2
- HID attacks via USB drives have become too suspicious. What about embedding the attack inside a USB cable? Just a quick test for a few things I'm hoping to make over the next month.
00:00 - Love it
Replying to @_JohnHammond and @ngriffin_uk - The exploding Hezbollah pagers situation is an incredibly impressive supply chain attack by Israel (most likely). I am sure more details will come, but there are already some educated guesses to be made that narrow it down. 🧵1/n
- Oh man, if this it what it looks (Okta got popped)… Blue Team everywhere is gonna be crazy busy.
- Replying to @_MG_And a lot of it has a belief that USB-C is somehow anti-Apple. Reality: Apple (& Intel) designed USB-C. The USB-Implementers Forum is responsible for USB-4, USB-PD, and many others. There are a lot of companies on the USB-IF, including Apple! 🧵4
- Before making the OMG Cable, I was making malicious thumb drives… with a little extra 💥
00:00 - Replying to @_MG_Now, because a high quality C to C cable can support ALL of these protocols, people incorrectly think the protocols are the same thing. 🧵3
- Replying to @_MG_Most people with wired CarPlay that switched from a lighting cable to usb-c will notice how much more fragile the connection is if using cheap cables. That’s because the moving parts went from the socket (lightning) to the cable (USB-C). So cable quality matters more. 🧵6
