It has been steadily increasing to use a wireless keyboard via Radio Frequency which is the input device. Especially, wireless keyboards that use 2.4 GHz frequency band are the most common items and their vulnerabilities have been reported since 2010. In this paper, we propose a 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard keystroke analysis and injection system based on the existing vulnerability researches of the Microsoft 2.4 GHz wireless keyboards. This system is possible to control on the remote. We also show that, via experiments using our proposed system, sensitive information of user can be revealed in the real world when using a 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard.

Nowadays, the use of wireless input devices has been increasing on the basis of high convenience and portability. In particular the most widely used wireless keyboard and the mouse to use the 2.4 GHz frequency band, but due to the third party receives the electromagnetic wave from leaking when the radio equipment it is easy to obtain the personal information and the vulnerability is also being reported consistently. In this paper, implement a system to analyze and manipulate the packets of 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard and mouse using USRP device and GNU Radio package for verify the vulnerability of 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard and mouse. Using the construction system has attained a equipment specific address and key information by analyzing the communication protocol and the packet structure of the device was proved that a user can operate the PC to send the random key from long distance.

Due to a recent rise in use of a wireless keyboard and mouse, attacks which take user's input information or control user's computer remotely exploiting the physical vulnerability in the wireless communication have been reported. Especially, MouseJack, announced by Bastille Network, attacks 2.4 GHz wireless keyboards and mice through exploiting vulnerability of each manufacturer's receiver. Unlike other attacks that have been revealed, this allows to attack AES wireless keyboards. Nonetheless, there is only a brief overview of the attack but no detailed information on this attacking method. Therefore, in this paper we will analyze the Microsoft 2.4 GHz wireless mouse packet and propose a way to set the packet configuration for HID packet injection simulating a wireless mouse. We also develop a system with 2.4 GHz AES wireless keyboard HID packet injection using the proposed packet and demonstrate via experiment that HID packet injection is possible through the system we built.
