A secretly-IoT keyboard that shares your key presses and may "type" malicious stuff when you're not looking at it; the OS wouldn't be able to tell it's not you doing the typing. Not scary at all, no sir.
- yipbub 8y agoIt can't read your keypresses (I think)
- blattimwind 8y agoIt can't (unless it's the keyboard cable).
- ngcc_hk 8y agoHid usually ok with systems and hence a wireless mouse and keyboard pretended. A windows hack may be - The “mouse” would ask to move to leftmost bottom corner then click. Type searching terms like Cmd<r>. Then if can get hold of the windows one is in ... Any better idea?
- int_19h 8y agoSo long as it can simulate them, installing a keylogger that can read them too is a matter of a few seconds (to "type" a PowerShell script that will download and execute the desired payload).
- blotter_paper 8y agoI took GP to be speculating about a hypothetical secretly-IoT-keyboard, not the cable being discussed. Similar thoughts are explored in the comments on TFA.
- muthdra 8y agoYes. I assumed it would be straightforward after you figure out how to hide wifi inside a USB cable.
