Is there a move afoot to write a checker utility that determines if the usb device its pointed at is vulnerable, and can therefore be reliably blacklisted? >From what I've read, the real fix will be a standards rewrite, and once fixed units are in the supply chains, replace what we have. The makers like Prolific & FDTI are licking their chops at that prospect. But with my weeping willow tree usb setup here, thats not a very appetizing choice as I have well north of $2500 dollars in stuff with usb sockets on them. Thanks for any encouraging news.
