# The Screen Crab by Hak5

The [Screen Crab](https://hak5.org/products/screen-crab) by Hak5 is a stealthy video man-in-the-middle implant.

This covert inline screen grabber sits between HDMI devices - like a computer and monitor, or console and television - to quietly capture screenshots. Perfect for sysadmins, pentesters and anyone wanting to record what's on a screen.

WiFi enabled to stream screenshots via [Hak5 Cloud C2](https://hak5.org/products/c2).
