Short answer is no, very minimal typing at the time of the attack and probably no mouse since it will be on a text driven command line line you do see in the movies.
Really most of the work will be done ahead of time, in the form of scripts/programs that someone already wrote. It could be that same hacker or another and they just downloaded it.

A good student would prepare answers for those questions and then just paste them into the test.
