However, that is implemented by computers at boths ends and the software there may have backdoors or explotable code which coult be used for all kind of tricks. Look only at the trend to use HID as simple driver-less way to connect about anything to a computer. Emulated keyboard which sends ANSI control codes to take over your box without you noticing? > You'd be exposed nearly to the same attack vectors. Plus some more (the > ones that handle the extra layer), so you'd have to check more code. So what about using that free USB stack for AVR's to implement a flash device? You would be able to audit about everything; flylogic even has these nice pictures of the ATmega88 masks... Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
