Hello guys,

reading the FreeBSD forums I learned about the usb freebsd mailing list.

I try to explain my question.

Plugging in an hard disk into the usb port (without mounting the
filesystem), I've noticed that the inserting operation was detected by the
chip and a counter inside the HD memory was increased by one each time the
hard disk was inserted.

So a write operation has been happen !!!!!!

The drive in question is a solid hard disk SSD 1TB Samsung 850 EVO Sata III.


This test has been done on a Linux O.S (that is a very disaster in terms of
security policy, due to the demons of the GUI !)

This sounds like something done by the BIOS. Some can keep track on a wide
variety of things. For example, it happens that the Bios keep track of the
times when the case is opened.

QUESTION:

Is the FreeBSD usbdump(8)  the right way to listen on events coming from
bios (in this case a writing access) and show changes happened into the rom
memory of the chip of the usb HD ?

Appreciated is any your help also about the correct sintax of the usbdump.


Hi,

usbdump has a manual page, man usbdump, describing how to use it.

There is also a Google Summer of code project to add wireshark support for the FreeBSD usbdump format.
