New to the Packet Squirrel ecosystem? Skip straight to the [Packet Squirrel Basics](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/getting-started/packet-squirrel-basics.md) chapter! ## Evolution The Packet Squirrel Mark II is an evolution of the original Packet Squirrel, and brings new tools, new flexibility, and up-to-date system tools and features. As things evolve, some things must per force change. While many Packet Squirrel Mark I payloads will run with few or no modifications, other features have changed to add new features or more flexibility. ## Web UI The Packet Squirrel Mark II has a web UI accessible at `http://172.16.32.1:1471` . Traditional SSH access is also still available! ## New NETMODE modes There are several new modes for [NETMODE](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/payload-development/duckyscript-for-packet-squirrel/netmode.md): * BRIDGE - Bridge the interfaces, but obtain an IP on the Packet Squirrel as well * TRANSPARENT - Bridge the interfaces, do not obtain an IP on the Packet Squirrel * JAIL - Segregate the Target port from the network, but obtain an IP on the Packet Squirrel * ISOLATE - Disconnect both the Target and the Packet Squirrel from the network * VPN - VPN mode has been removed, because VPN access is now available in any network mode where the Packet Squirrel has an address! ## VPN support The Packet Squirrel Mark II supports both Wireguard and OpenVPN connections. VPN connections are now available on all network modes where the Packet Squirrel has an IP: `NAT`, `BRIDGE`, and `JAIL`. The VPN connection can be enabled by any payload, see the [VPN Configuration](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/advanced-payloads/vpn-configuration.md) chapter for more information! ## USB support Support has been added for the exfat filesystem. Payloads can now use the [USB\_WAIT](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/payload-development/duckyscript-for-packet-squirrel/usb_wait.md), [USB\_FREE](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/payload-development/duckyscript-for-packet-squirrel/usb_free.md), and [USB\_STORAGE](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/payload-development/duckyscript-for-packet-squirrel/usb_storage.md) commands to determine if the USB storage is available. USB encryption is now available; see the [USB Encryption](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/advanced-payloads/usb-encryption.md) chapter for more information. Payloads should utilize the new USB commands to determine if USB storage is available, or wait for USB to be attached. ## New DuckyScript for Packet Squirrel commands The available commands for DuckyScript for Packet Squirrel have been greatly expanded, including a logging TCP proxy, connection matching and blocking, DNS spoofing, and more. Be sure to check out the [DuckyScript for Packet Squirrel](/packet-squirrel-mark-ii/payload-development/duckyscript-for-packet-squirrel.md) section! ## Python 3 Python has been upgraded to Python 3. Some Python 2 based payloads may need minor modification to be compatible with Python 3. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
