HackyPi-Software

HackyPi is a compact and versatile USB device powered by the RP2040 microcontroller. It is a powerful tool for both ethical hacking and learning programming, compatible with all major operating systems. You can program using python language. Its sleek and modern design, combined with a user-friendly interface, makes it easy to use for beginners and experts alike. HackyPi is highly portable.

Setup HackyPi

1. Download and Install Thonny IDE for your respective OS from Link Download Thonny

   

2. Adding CircuitPython bootloader in HackyPi

   For this first you need to Press and Hold the boot button on HackyPi, without releasing the button connect it to USB port of PC/laptop. Then you see a new device named "RPI-RP2" drag file "firmware.uf2" available in this repository to the device as shown in figure, or you can download from Circuitpython official website click here

   

After downloading just copy and paste firmware file to "RPI-RP2" folder and then remove the device. Now at this step bootloader installed properly inside Pico of Hackypi. To verify remove device and re-insert into PC/Laptop, no need to press boot button. This time you will see a new device as shown in the below image:-

Running First Code in HackyPi

1. Start Thonny IDE application, after this go to run->select interpreter, choose device and suitable com port Write simple python code and click on green run button

2. Now you are ready to try out your own codes. Even you can try some of below Example codes provided, for that just copy all the files (library files) from lib folder of this repository and paste inside the HackyPi lib folder

Run Script Standalone without Thonny IDE

Follow below steps to save your script to device, once done then remove device and reinsert in PC to run your script without the need of Thonny IDE. Meaning you can now plug to USB Port and your code will be executed by HackyPi.

And remember to save your script as code.py name into device otherwise script will not run after inserting into USB.

Examples Codes

This example folder in repository includes ready to use and experimental code with HackyPi

• Windows - This directory includes examples of HackyPi for Windows OS, for example
  • Example 1: To Access Camera
  • Example 2: Make Cool Fake Hacking with Friends laptop
  • Example 3: Just connect HackyPi and your System will Shutdown and Many more...
• Mac - This directory includes examples of HackyPi Use in Mac OS
  • Example 1: Delete Browsing History
  • Example 2: Control Mouse
  • Example 3: Open website and Many more...
• Image Display - This folder contains examples to display images on HackyPi

Play with it and create your own, Happy Coding!

hackypi-software's Issues

Hackpi doesn't work

Hi, I plugged the key to my laptop before looking at the github and the key was launching a program. Now I have followed the setup steps, my key doesn't work. Can you help me ?

its very hard to manage on iphone can you give tips?

Safely insert back into my pc

Good afternoon,

After the step "Run Script Standalone without Thonny IDE" how do I reinsert hackypi on my pc without running its script.

Thanks

ImportError after uploading firmware.u2f

The examples do not work with firmware.u2f in your repository (which contains CircuitPython version 7.1.1) .

First I've flashed firmware.u2f from your repository. Then I've copied lib to the HACKYPI drive and saved HackyPi_Mouse_control.py as code.py.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 13, in
File "adafruit_hid/init.py", line 21, in
ImportError: no module named 'future'

The CircuitPython version 8.0.5 provided in https://circuitpython.org/board/raspberry_pi_pico/ worked. Please update firmware.u2f or remove firmware.u2f and edit README.md, thanks!

Error with Running images with hackyPi

i have received this error:

showing bmp image /images/img1.bmp
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 53, in
ValueError: Invalid file

(yes im using thonny and yes everything is set up correctly) I dont get what is causing this error

Powershell - Admin override

When running a elevated (powershell Start-Process cmd -Verb runAs) powershell command.
keycode ALT-Y is needed to bypass the UAC window, however, when applied with the keyboard.send function, UAC doesn't accept the key combination (keyboard.send(Keycode.ALT, Keycode.Y)) from the HackyPi HID. Most all security testing will require elevated command prompts, this issue needs to be resolved.

Not recognized

I keep getting this message on every PC I try this in. Also tried a raspberry pi 4 and a Chromebook. Nothing. Only the display shows the Hackypi splash screen then nothing else happens.

In device manager it's not recognized as a com port. How do I fix it. It's brand new and it's never worked right once.
It shows a description error. It should say Pico, but there is no description.
Ive tried 2 laptops
Recommendation, a 4 port hub, a chromebook, and a raspberry pi 4, All with known working USB ports.
On windows, I only get this message.
"Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, your device may not be working properly."

ImportError: no module named '__future__'

Hi There,

I am using portable thonny and I am receiving such error:

%Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 13, in
File "adafruit_hid/init.py", line 21, in
ImportError: no module named 'future'

How to install future on device?

fix Display_Images_from_SDCard

The example display_sdcard_images.py is broken.

1. Turn on backlight: insert after "backlight display.show(main)":
   tft_bl = board.GP13
   led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(tft_bl)
   led.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT
   led.value=True

2. the images need to be copied to the sd cards root folder (and not to a folder named images). Please correct README.md

I've tried several different SD cards which I have formatted with FAT16 or FAT32 but the image loading time is very slowly (~3 minutes). image_display.py using the internal flash memory is loading images much faster (~4-5 seconds)

Hackypi getting started

HackyPi wont run after after applying firmware.uf2

After following the instruction to to apply the firmware as described in the sbcshop GitHub one HackyPi will not run as intended and screen is blank. Explorer still sees the HACKYPI drive and it is still recognised and connects in Thonny.

The only difference I could find with the two I have is once the HackyPi is loaded up in Thonny is the welcome messages in the shell window .

HackyPi #1 with firmware from this repository.

HackyPi #2 with preinstalled firmware.

Will the latest firmware be available here any time soon?

Keyboard issue when using non us keyboard

I tried the examples/mac/[HackyPi_openWebsite.py](https://github.com/sbcshop/HackyPi-Software/blob/main/examples/mac/HackyPi_openWebsite.py) example.

Seems to work fine - BUT on the opened terminal appears the following:

> open httpsÖ--shop.sbßcomponents.co.uk
The file /Users/<myUsername>/httpsÖ--shop.sbßcomponents.co.uk does not exist.

So, it seems the :// in the example's keyboard_layout.write("open https://shop.sb-components.co.uk") translates to Ö--

What could be wrong here.
Test-Mac is a M1 with german setup (lang, kbd, ...)

Just a Recommendation

I recommend starting a wiki on this repo so that people getting started can really get started at the educational level. I know one of my issues is the breakdown between the Pi access and the storage access and can you ssh into the pi side. Also getting the the additional SD storage working along with what are the limitations or requirements.

Mac and Windows and cross-linked

I just noticed this... On your readme, your MAC link actually goes to Windows, and your Windows Link goes to Mac.
