He and one of his brothers cleaned out their savings to purchase a TI-99/4a computer in the early 80’s, much to the chagrin of his parents. Phil) has been involved with technology since an early age. Mitigation of BadUSB and similar threatsĭr.Along the way students will also learn how to use microcontrollers and Udev rules.Ī non-exhaustive list of topics includes:

I'm sure other libraries may have similar information but this requires reverse engineering in lieu of a document of how to do each features.This course will cover USB in detail with an emphasis on understanding USB Mass Storage devices (also known as flash drives or thumb drives).By the end of this course students will know how to sniff USB traffic using open source tools, be able to write-block USB mass storage devices using software and microcontroller-based hardware, be able to impersonate other USB devices, and understand how to make forensic duplicates of USB mass storage devices. The only 'official' knowledge I have is in the USB Host Shield library for arduino V2 that has some comments indicating there were some guess works. I searched high and low and looked through FTDI's official programming guide and app note lists but found no documentation of these USB custom functions. Some commands seem to set baud rate, others assert/de-assert RS232 pins etc. I know that FTDI's windows driver is checking the authenticity of the FTDI IC so there were dozens of control transfers before things start to make sense. In each case I'm using a Beagle USB analyzer to capture the set up and data transfer process and they are all different.
