The advancement of technology has led to an increase in cybercrimes. Any potential threat to user computers is worth investigating. One such threat could be through peripheral devices like mice and keyboards that are connected to the computers. Cybercriminals can capture keystrokes by intercepting the traffic between these peripheral devices and the computer. Just by using a $20 USB dongle, they can inject keystrokes and remotely type in malicious commands on the victim’s laptop. Using specially crafted commands the attackers can potentially take over full control of the target laptop. This article intends to create awareness about security exploits through peripheral devices and ways to prevent these attacks.
