Brutal

// our take

Brutal is aimed at HID-based security testing, using devices such as Teensy boards to simulate keyboard input and execute predefined payloads. That's useful when assessing whether an organization has adequate endpoint controls against physical USB/HID attacks, but the toolkit is quite specialized compared with broader red-team frameworks. We'd reach for it when physical access and USB attack paths are explicitly in scope, particularly for testing endpoint detection and user-device controls.
