The infection started when a USB flash drive containing malicious code created by a foreign intelligence agency was plugged into a laptop that was attached to United States Central Command. From there it spread undetected to other systems, both classified and unclassified. [1] [2]
Adapters and cables with a USB-C receptacle are not allowed. [33] A Full-Featured USB cable is a Type‑C-to-Type‑C cable that supports USB 2.0, USB 3.2 and USB4 data operation, and a Full-Featured Type‑C receptacle likewise supports the same full set of protocols. [34]
The Linux kernel has supported USB mass-storage devices since version 2.3.47 [3] (2001, backported to kernel 2.2.18 [4]).This support includes quirks and silicon/firmware bug workarounds as well as additional functionality for devices and controllers (vendor-enabled functions such as ATA command pass-through for ATA-USB bridges, used for S.M.A.R.T. or temperature monitoring, controlling the ...
This section describes the power distribution model of USB that existed before Power-Delivery (USB-PD). On devices that do not use PD, USB provides up to 4.5 W through Type-A and Type-B connectors, and up to 15 W through USB-C. All pre-PD USB power is provided at 5 V. For a host providing power to devices, USB has a concept of the unit load ...
USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 – newly marketed as SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps (replaces SuperSpeed+ or SS+), [63] 10 Gbit/s signaling rate over 1 lane using 128b/132b encoding (raw data rate: 1212 MB/s); replaces USB 3.1 Gen 2. USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 – new, 10 Gbit/s signaling rate over 2 lanes using 8b/10b encoding (raw data rate: 1000 MB/s).
Detection of unreachable code is a form of control flow analysis to find code that can never be reached in any possible program state. In some languages (e.g. Java [9]) some forms of unreachable code are explicitly disallowed. The optimization that removes unreachable code is known as dead code elimination.
In 2014, security researchers discovered that USB devices contain writeable firmware which can be modified with malicious code (dubbed "BadUSB"), which anti-virus software cannot detect or prevent. The malicious code can run undetected on the computer and could even infect the operating system prior to it booting up. [155] [156]
A USB-to-serial adapter or simply USB adapter is a type of protocol converter that is used for converting USB data signals to and from serial communications standards (serial ports). Most commonly the USB data signals are converted to either RS-232 , RS-485 , RS-422 , or TTL-level UART serial data.
