Authorizing (or not) your USB devices to connect to the system (2007)
- zokier 8y agoHuh, I did not know this to exist. Linux is such a treasure trove of weird little-known features. How much can this protect against attacks to USB stack or device drivers? Of course there is all the chipset level stuff that you can't help, but preventing abuse of some obscure poorly maintained driver would be pretty great.
- justinjlynn 8y agoI'm surprised that the majority of drivers sit in kernel space and that the kernel doesn't export something like ebpf which traps out to a userspace daemon that could handle more exotic things, well, from userspace.
