Increased focus on the Universal Serial Bus (USB) attack surface of devices has recently resulted in a number of new vulnerabilities. Much of this advance has been aided by the advent of hardware-based USB emulation techniques. However, existing tools and methods are far from ideal, requiring a significant investment of time, money, and effort. In this work, we present a USB testing framework t...

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become the most popular interface standard for hardware connection, and there has been a huge growth in the number of USB peripheral devices. External USB storage devices, in particular, are the most popular applications in market. Unfortunately, because USB affords high speed data transmission and is extremely convenient to use, many companies have prohibited...

117 Standards I n February 1997, I wrote a Computer column titled " Linking Computers and Consumer Electronics, " which described the IEEE 1394 networking standard, otherwise known as FireWire. FireWire was designed to link personal computers, digital cameras , televisions, DVD players, printers, and other home electronics equipment. In one sense, FireWire represented the technology behind all ...

USB provides ubiquitous plug-and-play connectivity for a wide range of devices. However, the complex nature of USB obscures the true functionality of devices from the user, and operating systems blindly trust any physically-attached device. This has led to a number of attacks, ranging from hidden keyboards to network adapters, that rely on the user being unable to identify all of the functions ...

Due to its portability and accesibility, the USB memory has become one of the most popular storage devices. However, if the device is lost, stolen or hacked, it can lead to critical information leakage. It is natural that malicious insiders would try to thieve their colleagues’ USB memories. Consequently, various security-incorporated USB products have been developed. To our best knowledge, the...

The uptake of USB storage has mainly replaced previous portable media. With the evolution of USB storage devices, increased importance is placed on this technology in both the private and commercial worlds. USB storage capacity has increased tremendously in recent decades, with capacities of 16 megabytes in early models expanding to as much as 256 gigabytes today. The relative low cost of these...
