[ilugd]: Is my USB port secure in Linux??

[Arjun]

Dear Friends,

     Can  I  put  a  sniffer/modifier  between  an application and USB
     port?? (when not logged in as root).

     I want to know if USB is secure under Li? and no one will capture
     info or fool a finger print scanner or a smartcard reader. It can
     be done in Windoze.

     And if there is a way, how can I prevent it?

Best regards,


Atul Asthana
