USB drivers included in the Linux kernel are rife with security flaws that in some cases can be exploited to run untrusted code and take over users' computers. The vast majority of these ...

不知道大家在学习Linux的时候有没有过这样的疑问，为什么我们通过同一个接口接入的不同USB设备，我们的电脑都可以识别到呢？为什么Linux电脑不会把鼠标识别成键盘呢？带着这些疑问我们一起来看一下USB的识别和加载过程。 当我们插入一个USB设备时，Linux内核 ...

在介绍设备端驱动前，我们先来看看 Linux USB子系统。这里的子系统是相对于整个Linux kernel 来说的，而非单一设备。从整体概括了USB主机端和设备端的通信框架。 Linux kernel 中早已集成了较为完善的USB协议栈，由于其规模庞大，包含多个类别的设备驱动，所以Linux ...

Academics say they discovered 26 new vulnerabilities in the USB driver stack employed by operating systems such as Linux, MacOS, Windows, and FreeBSD. The research team, made up by Hui Peng from ...

Last time we discussed how to create a simple USB driver that controlled a USB LED device manufactured by Delcom Engineering [LJ, April 2004]. I would like to thank all of the readers who have given ...

Running Linux from a USB drive is possible. You can boot just about any distribution you want from USB. There are some things you should consider before going this route. I've used Linux in just about ...

[Johannes 4GNU_Linux] has been filming a video series on how to write Linux device drivers for a couple of years now, but luckily, you won’t need that long to watch them or to create your own driver.

In my last column [see LJ December 2002], we covered the serial layer in the 2.5 (hopefully soon to be 2.6) kernel tree. We mentioned in passing that a USB-to-serial driver layer in the kernel helps ...
