@broniebrown Hmm, lets see, if I were a hacker and wanted to infect as much systems as possible in the least amount of time, knowing that I would only need to speak to and rewrite a large chunk of the embedded system ( and this is more than likely a hand-crafted process so I do not think that malious people are willing to write several hundreds to target specifically USB sticks ) ... I guess they would target the biggest and baddest selling devices with an USB connection first. Depending on how fast you would like it to spread more is better ofcourse but... ehmm... I'd look at the RealTek USB stick firmware ( it is in almost every USB stick, I do not think it changed much, maybe only for sizes ). Iphone 5 and Iphone 6 ( they do have different USB firmware, not sure if incompattible ) and Samsung S4 and S5. Then refine my detection mechanisms by CLI and update the firmware reprogram definitions as I go ( let the "badUSB" horse phone home ) ... ... I know evil... does that mean I am ?
