Share

Authorised implant and awareness labs with the Hak5 LAN Turtle Hub — OOB Wi-Fi, VPN paths, USB interception, and ALFA Network LK local pricing.

It looks like IT already approved it

Modern desks are a nest of USB-C dongles. The LAN Turtle Hub leans into that camouflage: a working Ethernet adapter and USB hub that can also become a remote-access and USB-interception classroom on Linux. The moment you treat it like a prank gift, you have already failed the ethics test.

ALFA Network LK sells the Hub at LKR 63,000 (VAT inclusive) for authorised training and assessments.

Authorised scenario

As a hypothetical example, a software firm in Colombo 03 wants staff to spot “helpful” hubs left on hot desks. You deploy the Turtle only on a lab desk PC they own, show WireGuard/SSH/Cloud C² style reach-back Hak5 documents, then walk the blue team through cable audits and USB device control. Persistence beyond the demo window is off unless the SOW says otherwise.

Why it belongs in the catalogue

Official features worth teaching: OOB Wi-Fi (client or AP), switchable USB-A interception, web UI, DuckyScript/Bash, VPN options (WireGuard, OpenVPN), and Cloud C². Students remember “the boring hub” longer than a bare PCB.

Kit pairing

Tips

  • Provision C2/VPN on a clean VLAN first
  • Disable the RGB LED when the client asks for low visibility
  • Wipe payloads after every class
  • Photograph desk placement for the report

FAQ

Is this the old LAN Turtle SD?

No — this guide is the LAN Turtle Hub generation.

Can we leave it for a week?

Only with explicit written persistence scope. Default is same-day removal.

Pro/Elite bundles?

Hak5 sells bundles; our price is the Hub line we quote — confirm kit contents when ordering.

Order path?

These tools belong in authorised assessments, lab practice, and training — not casual tinkering on networks that are not yours.

In Sri Lanka, unauthorised access to computer systems can engage the Computer Crimes Act No. 24 of 2007. This post is practical product guidance, not legal advice. If you are unsure whether a test is allowed, get written permission first and talk to counsel who knows local law.

Only use this gear on systems you own, or on systems where a named client has given you written authorisation that covers the methods you plan to run.
