If I wanted to get at an encrypted hard drive, I'd just tamper with the keyboard and record the password as it was being typed. Hardware keyloggers can be made very tiny with resources and determination.

- marginalia_nu 4y agoThe USB HID protocol isn't encrypted. You can literally just add a pass through that logs (or transmits) the data. You'd have to check your USB connectors for a small extra dongle every time you boot up with just what is consumer-available[1]. There's also this type of stuff that can be wired into a keyboard[2], obviously harder to detect but a bit more involved to install as well. With a national R&D budget you can without a doubt do much better than both of these.
