Wi‑Fi-controlled hacking USB cable stealthily packs in a microcontroller, microSD storage, and more — cable executes remote payload execution, keystroke injection, and more, but is 'built for makers, developers, enthusiasts, and cybersecurity learners'

Little Gadgets has launched Hacknect on Kickstarter, a stealth-looking USB cable with an ESP32-S3, Wi‑Fi, and microSD support.

The cable can run remote payloads, inject HID keystrokes, automate mouse actions, and be controlled through a browser.

Open-source firmware is planned, and the first shipments are currently targeted for August.

The project underscores how ordinary USB accessories can double as security-testing tools — and potential misuse devices.
