2023 Hacker Tip #16 O.MG you shouldn't trust USB cables!

the OMG cable is a USB cable with a built-in radio.

this means not only could you remote control it but remote trigger, capture information, and customized different payloads.

the texture and the look of the cable looks very consistent with the cable that you would get with your cell phone in the past.

so think and check your devices before you plan plug-in some random cable.

shout out to mischief gadgets for creating this awesome device and helping everyone become more security aware!

I just got some stickers in the mail, I haven’t actually purchased any of the cables, / flasher yet but they are definitely at the top of my list. What do u think of them so far?? I wanted to start out with the tiny usb first, ,

Wanna be a real help? What's that chip being used in there? I'm currently working on my own version cuz 180 bones for one of these is insane! I'm not leaving that thing unattended anywhere at that price LOL!

But how do you know if your usb cable has a radio device in it?
