Introduction
This is the updated (2023) version of the product.
The O.MG Malicious Cable Detector is a device designed to detect and protect against malicious cables such as the O.MG cable or the USBNinja.
The device samples a connected cable 200,000 times per second to analyse USB traffic. If traffic is detected - the cable can be considered to be malicious.
The Cable Detector can also be used as a "USB Condom" - allowing you to charge devices while it blocks the data lines, to eliminate the risk of "juice jacking".
The device's behaviour can also be extended via its 6-pin ISP header with the standard Arduino IDE. There's even a serial breakout, should you need to provide further output information.
Usage Instructions
Using the Malicious Cable Detector is incredibly easy:
-
Plug the Malicious Cable Detector to a USB-A Port
The Malicious Cable Detector needs power to operate. It can be plugged into any standard USB-A port or USB Battery.
-
Connect a cable to test
Plug a suspect cable into the Malicious Cable Detector.
Important: Ensure that the cable is not plugged into anything else.
-
Triage
If the Malicious Cable Detector's LED shows signs of activity, this indicates that the cable is actively trying to send data / manipulate the host device.
