USBvalve is a firmware application for cheap RP2040-based hardware (Raspberry Pi Pico) that emulates a fake USB mass-storage filesystem and exposes any read/write activity on a display, revealing hidden malware behavior. It also acts as a USB host to detect and debug BADUSB HID devices.
Use cases
- check if a USB device installed malware on my drive
- detect badusb hid attacks from unknown devices
- monitor usb mass storage file activity in real time
- debug usb hid payloads from devices like rubber ducky
- forensic analysis of suspicious usb ports
- test if a kiosk computer is stealing files from usb drives
When to choose
- you need a cheap portable hardware tool to inspect USB activity on unknown machines
- you want to detect BADUSB/HID injection devices on the fly
- you do USB forensics or security awareness demos
When to avoid
- you need software-only USB monitoring on your own computer
- you require deep packet-level USB protocol analysis
- you need a network-based or enterprise-scale USB DLP solution
