BadUSB the unpatchable malware code published on Github

The BadUSB was later demonstrated again by two researchers, Adam Caudill and Brandon Wilson.

Caudill and Wilson presented the vulnerability at Derbycon 4.0 conference last week in Louisville.

What is BadUSB?

The demo showed that similar hacks could work against Android phones when attached to targeted computers.

Researchers Wilson and Caudill reversed-engineered USB firmware and reprogrammed it to launch various attacks.

They then put the code for BadUSB onGithubwith a intent of letting all the users know abouts its effects.

The belief we have is that all of this should be public.

It shouldnt be held back.

So were releasing everything weve got, Caudill told the Derbycon audience on Friday.

This was largely inspired by the fact that [SR Labs] didnt release their material.

Caudill and Wilson discussed various scenarios where BadUSB can be used.

BadUSB remains unpatchable at the moment.
