The attack modes are two very different ones. Taiidan is thinking about someone coming in, installing a snooping device and waiting for you to type something critical. In contrary your ps2 solution is one which protects against people at any time entering your OS through compromised (usb) hardware. Either by giving you a pen, or entering the pen themselves. It seems that if you drop usb pens in the parking lot of a mall or company, you have a very very high chance some unsuspecting person will insert it in their machine. With the amount of bad USB drivers in the linux tree (not to mention in Windows) this is a worrying attack allowing the machine to be rooted without the attacker even being physically present. sys-usb limits this attack. > USB to ps/2 adapter works, i apologize if it is a too simple and > practical cheap solution.

I think thats a great solution for the more common attack. -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
