Right, and I'm supposed to know that how? You're the one who's an expert on 
usb. You know how HID keyboards pass data. I'm starting from scratch and only 
have data that is sensitive. It's hard to know what you can share when you 
don't know what you have. 

Since you have expectations that I'm not ready to meet can you at least point 
me to documentation on how HID keyboards are supposed to work? My Google foo is 
failing me there.

Yes, I am aware. The remainder was all zeros on every line and appeared 
insignificant to my question.
