ZeroTrace HID

Live Mode

Real-time virtual keyboard and joystick from the web UI

Open the web UI's Live panel 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

BLE doesn't carry the report types the live mouse uses; SilentTrace surfaces this in the UI rather than silently downgrading.

Latency

Round-trip from the controlling browser → device → target host is typically 30–80 ms over the device's own AP. Add 20–50 ms when controlling over STA mode through a corporate switch.

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.
  • The web UI session is bound to one controller at a time — multiple browsers will compete for input.
