1. Unboxing & Setup
Power on, LED indicators, battery and first boot - get your Shark Jack Display ready for action.
INTRODUCTION
The original Shark Jack devices are powerful, portable network pentesting devices for rapid deployment of payloads. Easy payload updates, situation-aware adaptability and interactivity were skipped in order to optimise for simplicity and speed.
The Shark Jack Display changes everything: still ultra-portable, still speed-optimised - but with the inclusion of an OLED display and rocker-switch - ethernet audits are now interactive.
Interact with payloads in real-time and see live results on-screen. Scan a network, read the output, dig deeper - all on-device, no computer necessary.
The Shark Jack Display natively runs Bash and interactive DuckyScript™: payloads can now request your input, branch on results and drive any Linux network tool.
The device ships with preloaded payloads: over a dozen built-in payloads, and can automatically download new updates.
Finally, sys-admins with two Shark Jacks can use SharkLink™ - to finally get a quick solution the age-old problem: easily tell if there's a route between two different ports.
Real-time results on-screen
A 1.2" OLED gives you real-time results and rapid configuration. Read scans live, on-device, with no laptop in sight.
Interactive payloads
Bash and interactive DuckyScript™ let you prompt, branch and drive Linux network tools on the fly.
Powerful and Portable
Built to survive on your keychain. Deploys in seconds - forget it until you need it.
Training included
Hours of Hak5-produced step-by-step learning videos and online quizzes. Effortlessly gain expertise.
SEE IT IN ACTION
Get hands on with the Shark Jack Display's creator, Hak5's Darren Kitchen. See how easy network audits become with interactive payloads, on-screen results, phone-based control via C2 cloud.
GETTING STARTED: THE CRASH COURSE
The Shark Jack Display ships with a complete training course: hours of video walking you from the first boot to crafting your own payloads. Work through it at your own pace - every module is below.
2. Operation Modes
Arming Mode, Attack Mode and the NETMODE settings that decide how every payload behaves.
3. Firmware Update & Get Payloads
Update firmware from the device itself and pull the latest community payloads - no computer necessary.
4. Interface Tour
Navigate the on-device menus: Payloads, Tools, Settings and About.
5. Payload Execution
Run your first payload, read the Payload Log live, and quit a running script safely.
6. Profiles
Save, load and manage per-payload configurations with DuckyScript™ Payload Profiles.
7. Crafting Payloads
Gain root over SSH and build your own payload from the shell.
8. SharkLink
Deploy two Shark Jack Displays and verify exactly which network ports connect to which.
UNDERSTAND THE SHARK JACK DISPLAY

4. Rocker Switch
Tactile, single-finger navigation from a spring-loaded rocker switch and button combo.
5. Integrated Clip
Anti-snag RJ45 cover protects the plug and doubles as a convenient keychain loop.
6. Serviceable Battery
Serviceable 110 mAh LiPo on a JST connector - 30+ minutes of untethered runtime.
HOW IT COMPARES
There are three models in the SharkJack family - each one optimised for a specific environment: headless, tethered, or interactive. The Display adds an on-device screen and interactive payloads to the platform that made rapid physical-access network attacks routine.
