Vulnerable keyboards

[Jerry Leichter]

A couple of weeks ago, Apple distributed a firmware update for their  
keyboards - the standalone ones, not the ones built into laptops.  I  
remarked at the time (perhaps on this list?) that given a way for  
Apple to update the firmware ... was there a way for others with  
malicious intent?  Well ... yes.  http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-09/CHEN/BHUSA09-Chen-RevAppleFirm-PAPER.pdf 
  reports on reverse-engineering a previous keyboard patch and  
producing a functional patch of his own.
