Ríni Fogol<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Ventoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ventoy</a> is a tool that allows you to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/boot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boot</a> an <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/iso" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iso</a> file directly from a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USB</a> drive. Many people recommend it online, but most people are unaware that Ventoy modifies the installation ISO and injects <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/binary_blobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#binary_blobs</a>.There is probably no acceptable reason to use it. I recommend that you consider all installations made with Ventoy as <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/tampered_with" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tampered_with</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/untrusted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#untrusted</a>.

Pete Prodoehl 🍕I finally finished this custom USB Controller using a 12 position switch. The customer will be using it as a USB MIDI Controller where they want to select 11 different settings.It's a bit taller than I'd like but the switch is pretty tall and I need a certain amount of space for the PCB and controller.The enclosure is 3D printed and so is the knob. The multi-color prints for both came out great.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSCAD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MIDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MIDI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USB</a>

It was advertising USB-controlled vibrators in 5 tasty colors that could be daisy chained. I guess this was 1999?

There is some qualitative difference between a surreptitious attacker inserting an unnoticed additional HID (as one of my co-workers once did to another co-worker as a prank) and letting the user continue unawares, a "mouse jiggler" to keep a machine from locking when the user is removed, and actually having the ability to access the internals of the machine there and then.
