A comment on Malicious Charging Cable.

Not sure I’m understanding what this does? The page lacks information in the extreme. Can this keylog? Does other data just transparently pass through or can this log it? Does it show up as an HID device when not activated? What wireless bands does this operate on?

At the very least a list of specs would be greatly appreciated!

Imagine a Rubber Ducky crammed invisibly into a cable, with wireless functionality.

Imagine what you could do on a terminal with keyboard mouse and storage, and that's pretty much what this can do.

In theory undetectable while not activated.
