Glenn Grant has blogged recently about going down the USB Reverse Engineering rabbit hole. He does a deep dive into the software and hardware used to reverse engineer, do protocol analysis, do hardware hacking, and do what whatever else would be involved in implementing custom drivers for arbitrary hardware. USB is a ubquitous, industry standard for cables, connectors, and their supporting protocols with a surprising amount of computing power running internally on chips inside the USB devices themselves.

    The only long-term solution is to put energy into these 2 independent actions

    Some would suggest putting 6.3 VAC into the USB port. But 110 VAC or even better to use genuine British mains connected to USB ports for best effects. The acrid smell might not be so good. The principal investigator's wife might request that further experiments be moved to the garage.
