Oh I was just messing with ya on that picture.... The window on the picture of the PMAG in the AR showed “empty” ......:o)
Hope yer well....stay safe !!
Yep, yep, I know ^^
I also didn’t really mean that I stand guard at my ports with my AR.
But I was serious about my German Shepherd. She guards everything :D
My 5K Retina iMac says it has USB-3.0. Izzat what you mean by "USB-C"?
Nope. Look at the single port on the new MacBook. . .
Probably better than anything else. . .
That's really not her, she has a much kinder face, but she does sort of look like that when she sees a squirrel in the yard :D
Good Doggy !!.....:o)
Then shouldn't it be possible for the computer user to whitelist specific USB devices at the time of installation, and block all others? It might seem a little strange to require solving a CAPTCHA to install and whitelist a new keyboard, but wouldn't that defeat USBdriveby-like devices?
Again, it should be trivial to do so...I would imagine such a feature to appear in hardened Linuxes...the functionality to detect and identify USB devices by HW-ID already exists...
Windows, OTOH, would require sort of a K-mode device driver; that is, a driver that loads while Windows NT is still in native/kernel mode, before loading userland components.
Much like a real-time Antiviral...Grisoft’s Anti-Virus Guard comes to mind...in kernel mode, it has its own drivers that are loaded at boot time, ostensibly to protect the system as soon as NTKRPAMP.EXE (multiprocessor, PAE-mode kernel; usually the default kernel on most computers these days) is loaded...
