Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] HID: add malicious HID device detection driver
Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 16:37:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260404133746.80914-1-zybo1000@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Jiri, Benjamin,
This series introduces hid-omg-detect, a passive HID monitor that scores
potentially malicious keyboard-like USB devices (BadUSB / O.MG style)
using:
- keystroke timing entropy,
- plug-and-type latency,
- USB descriptor fingerprinting.
When the configurable threshold is crossed, the module emits a warning
with a userspace mitigation hint (usbguard).
The driver does not block, delay, or modify HID input events.
Changes since v1:
- Replaced global list + mutex with per-device drvdata.
- Removed logging inside spinlock-held regions.
- Moved VID/PID lookup to probe() to avoid hot-path overhead.
- Switched logging to hid_{info,warn,err} helpers.
- Capped timing sample counter at MAX_TIMING_SAMPLES.
- Renamed file to hid-omg-detect.c for kernel naming conventions.
Thanks,
Zubeyr Almaho
