usbguard VS ExpansionCards

You want USBGuard. Its probably available in your distro repository. Its a very neat piece of software!

If I were an attacker, could I clone the device id and attributes of the victim's previously approved devices? https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard#before-the-first-start

Anyway I enjoy this HID stuff, I've been playing with using a computer as a keyboard to another computer. With scroll, num, and capslock LED's, bidirectional communication can be achieved and by injecting a small process I think some new kind of universal REPL can be accomplished.

Few days ago I found this: https://usbguard.github.io/ but during read some information how-to, I found comments similar to this: "A USB device can identify itself basically however it wants ". What's your opinion? USBGuard could be a tool, that nice to have or could be useless for some reason?

Hello lynet_101 I think that UsbGuard is what you are looking for: https://usbguard.github.io/

For those wondering, there is an easy defense against this on Linux, USBGuard (https://usbguard.github.io/)

RHEL7+ include USBGuard as part of the standard repo [0]

[0] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

Isn't UsbGuard designed to prevent exactly just that?

I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.

So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.

Frame.work: https://frame.work/

Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000138246/linux-on-...

System76: https://system76.com/laptops

Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/land/business

I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.

I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

A Framework Laptop (https://frame.work)

You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.
