USB Reloaded: the Teensy Attack

I'm posting this information in advance of my "USB Reloaded: the Teensy Attack" lightning talk, which I am delivering at SANS 2012 in Orlando. The talk is part of SANS360: Top Security Takeaways. The talk is scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 7:30 PM EDT and will be streamed live here.


Ten talks in 60 minutes, with 360 seconds per speaker. I can't wait!


My paper is available here. The Arduino sketches used in my talk are here.


Here are the resources I used to launch the Teensy attack:

• Where to buy Teensy: http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/
• I bought the USB enclosures from Mouser Electronics.
• I bought the USB Type A Male to Mini 5-Pin Adapters from Amazon.
• Microsoft TechNet Prevent Installation of Removable Devices article.
• NirSoft's USBDeview may be downloaded here.

Here are some excellent Teensy articles:

• Adrian Crenshaw's Plug and Prey. Lots of great information there, plus Adrian discusses mitigation options in depth.
• DaberMania has some great Teensy articles here.
• AstroBaby's Teensy++2.0 and Metasploit.
• 0x80's Create your own malicious keyboard or mouse!
