Rasperry PI Pico, a powerful password stealer

Introduction
In my experience as a Computer Security student, I have had the opportunity to delve into hacking techniques, including password theft. Password theft is a very common technique used to gain access to sensitive accounts and resources.

In a recent project, I decided to experiment with creating a Password Stealer for Web Browsers using the Raspberry PI Pico. The Raspberry PI Pico is a cheap and versatile microcontroller that can be used for a variety of purposes, including hacking.

Development
I used this device, which can be found very cheap, to demonstrate how in a few seconds all the passwords and cookies saved on the browser can be stolen.

I then tested my Password Stealer on a Windows computer that I own, for ethical and professional purposes only. The script worked fine and the Raspberry Pi Pico saved all the passwords in its memory.

This experience was very helpful in understanding password theft techniques and improving my hacking skills. It also gave me experience with Raspberry PI Pico and Python programming.

Conclusion
Creating a Password Stealer is a dangerous activity, but it can also be a learning experience for those involved in hacking. In creating and running this script, a Password Stealer for training purposes, I followed a few precautions:

  • Use a dedicated Raspberry PI Pico for your project. 
  • I have not used my Password Stealer on computers that do not belong to me, it has only been used on “lab” computers
  • Use a secure and dedicated password software

Final considerations
In this article, I have shared my personal experience with creating a Password Stealer for Web Browsers using Raspberry PI Pico. I wanted to emphasize that this experience was purely educational and that I have never used the Password Stealer on computers that do not belong to me.

I believe it is important for ethical hackers to have a thorough understanding of hacking techniques, including those that can be used for malicious purposes. This understanding can help ethical hackers protect individuals and organizations from cyber attacks.
