For research purposes (vulnerability-analysis), I would like to connect to an embedded Linux-based device via USB. The USB is only intended for the (re)charging (according to the manufacturer of course). Bluetooth is used for the actual communication.
The device is not listed (via lsusb
in Linux or system_profiler SPUSBDataType
in OSX) when connected on a PC.
As a matter of fact, I know that a group of security researchers that has managed to connect to the device via USB. However, this was more than 1.5 year ago. This 'feature' might me disabled by the manufacturer.
So, what are the possibilities? Are there any tools I can try?
Thanks in advance.
