# ATTACKMODE

`ATTACKMODE` is a DuckyScript command which specifies which devices to emulate. The ATTACKMODE command may be issued multiple times within a given payload. For example, a payload may begin by emulating Ethernet, then switch to emulating a keyboard and serial later based on a number of conditions.

Many combinations of attack modes are possible, however some are not. For example, `ATTACKMODE HID STORAGE ECM_ETHERNET` is valid while `ATTACKMODE RNDIS_ETHERNET ECM_ETHERNET STORAGE SERIAL` is not. Each attack mode combination registers using a different USB VID/PID (Vendor ID/Product ID) by default. VID and PID can be spoofed using the VID and PID commands.

| ATTACKMODE COMBINATION      | VID / PID     |
| --------------------------- | ------------- |
| SERIAL STORAGE              | 0xF000/0xFFF0 |
| HID                         | 0xF000/0xFF01 |
| STORAGE                     | 0xF000/0xFF10 |
| SERIAL                      | 0xF000/0xFF11 |
| RNDIS\_ETHERNET             | 0xF000/0xFF12 |
| ECM\_ETHERNET               | 0xF000/0xFF13 |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.hak5.org/bash-bunny/writing-payloads/attackmode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
