Hacking Through a USB Port

​Hacking Through a USB Port
How a Harmless-Looking USB Can Compromise Your System

​Ever wondered how a simple USB stick can take over an entire system without a single line of malware being "installed" the traditional way? In this session, we break down the USB trust model — why your OS blindly trusts any peripheral device plugged in — and how attackers exploit that trust using HID attacks and BadUSB techniques.

​What we'll cover:

• ​Understanding the USB trust model — why operating systems trust peripheral devices

• ​HID attacks & BadUSB concepts — how trusted devices become effective attack vectors

• ​Live demonstration — HID keystroke injection using the Hyper-X Injector

• ​Detection, forensics & defense — how to spot, investigate, and defend against these attacks
