Contributed to the hak5/usbrubberducky-payloads repository by consolidating the Ashtree Payload Core and implementing reverse-shell capabilities with TLS, OS detection, and passive payload launching. Developed new artifacts such as shell.ps1 and payload.txt using PowerShell and DuckyScript, focusing on network security and scripting. Enhanced documentation to clarify usage, hosting requirements, and action descriptions, improving onboarding for users. Addressed codebase hygiene by removing deprecated components and fixing stability issues, resulting in a more maintainable and reliable project. The work emphasized payload development, penetration testing, and Windows exploitation, delivering a unified feature set and reducing maintenance overhead for future contributions.
