• The evaluation tool, BadUSB2, was developed as a means to evaluate the compromise of USB fixed- line communications through an active man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
• BadUSB and now BadUSB2 demonstrate a new breed of USB-based attacks that not only attempt to circumvent existing controls, but also allow an adversary to access the network with user privileges.
• BadUSB2 can mimic the role of other hardware implants, such as hardware keyloggers, keyboard emulating devices or even BadUSB.
