Hi, I have a question, a friend of mine is badusb RAT botnet victim, AFAIK, BadUSB, when plugged In can give commands, can enumerate keyboard, other HID, & even turn it into a Nic but is it possible to have rootkit embedded in firmware, virtual file system or would it turn it into NIC C&C Botnet, then download additional malware if connected to net?
well, he had his friend's USB inserted,& then PC become strange, automatic mouse movements, then in event log he found that it had installed a driver as well as anonymous, system logon
it is very possible, most especially, when the exploit acts as a firmware with a remote-access kind of connection. It happened to a friend of mine who interned with a bank and that almost got him into trouble.
questions... it has uefi scanning anyway.. and you can run an online-scan within ~20 mins, i just did, to check if it still works.[does] and i have an inkling that it may turn up more troubles.. if you do not try, you won`t know, will you? and it is free too.. if you don`t shoot, you will always miss, as we say in holland..
