ZeroTrace HID
Live Mode
Real-time virtual keyboard and joystick from the mobile app
Open the mobile app's Live tab for direct, real-time control of the target. Two surfaces:
- Virtual keyboard, types as you press keys on your laptop or phone.
- Virtual joystick, drag to move the target's cursor; tap zones for clicks.
Useful when scripted automation isn't enough, interactive enumeration, manual debugging, or fast pivots without writing a payload.
Transport behavior
| Transport | Live keyboard | Live mouse |
|---|---|---|
| USB-HID | Yes | Yes |
| BLE-HID | Yes | No |
BLE doesn't carry the report types the live mouse uses; SilentTrace surfaces this in the app rather than silently downgrading.
Latency
Round-trip from the app → device → target host is low enough for interactive control: type, move the cursor, and click with no perceptible lag for normal use.
Tips
- Open Live mode on your phone for one-handed operation while you observe the target screen.
- Combine with Recon Mode to suppress LED feedback during live sessions in surveilled spaces.
- Live control is bound to one controller at a time.
