Would a USB drive be able to 'know' what the ID of another USB device is? As I'm seeing the explanation:
1. User plugs in USB drive and keyboard.
2. USB drive obtains the ID of the keyboard.
3. Later, it looks when the keyboard is not plugged in and changes it's ID to that of the keyboard.
4. Now the computer thinks when the USB drive is an authorised keyboard, and can type whatever malicious commands it wants.
Is that right? Apart from keyboard, what other devices could it exploit?
