BadUSB is a computer security attack using USB devices that are programmed with malicious software. [ 2] For example, USB flash drives can contain a programmable Intel 8051 microcontroller, which can be reprogrammed, turning a USB flash drive into a malicious device. [ 3] This attack works by programming the fake USB flash drive to emulate a ...

The USB devices communicate with the host computer using the human interface device (HID) protocol, essentially mimicking a keyboard. [9] [failed verification – see discussion] This avoids the need for the user to install special hardware driver software in the host computer and permits application software (such as a browser) to directly access the security features of the device without ...
Secure USB flash drives protect the data stored on them from access by unauthorized users. USB flash drive products have been on the market since 2000, and their use is increasing exponentially. [ 1][ 2] As businesses have increased demand for these drives, manufacturers are producing faster devices with greater data storage capacities.
