Honeypot Mode
This mode can be used to steal login credentials. It creates a fake WiFi network that asks clients to login using their social media account to access the internet. It can also be configured to serve custom HTML pages to hook the connected clients to BeEF or steal other data.
Connect to the fake access point, disregard the login prompt and navigate to http://192.168.1.1/home to access the command center. Navigate to “Storage” and you should have a file named “honeypot-log.txt”.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ZS Cactus PRO different from the ZSCactus?
The PRO ZSCactus has been upgraded to include Key logging capabilities which will capture every single button / keystrike from the target computer
What is the ZS Cactus PRO Wi-Fi Keystroke Injection BadUSB used for?
It’s designed for ethical hackers and cybersecurity professionals to simulate USB-based attacks, test endpoint and physical security, practice social engineering scenarios, train user awareness, and assess incident response.
Can antivirus software detect and block ZS Cactus PRO WiFi Keystroke Injection BadUSB attacks?
BadUSB attacks operate at the firmware level, which is much harder for standard antivirus software to detect, as the device appears to the operating system as a legitimate keyboard.
How does the ZS Cactus PRO WiFi Keystroke Injection BadUSB attacks differ from traditional USB malware?
Traditional malware relies on infected files. BadUSB exploits device firmware to act as trusted hardware (like a keyboard), allowing it to execute commands silently at the system level. This makes it stealthier and more difficult to defend against.
