Abstract

Recently, a new class of USB based attacks has emerged which unlike previous USB based threats does not exploit any vulnerability or depend on any operating system feature. The USB HID attack vector utilizes an emulated keyboard and onboard flash memory storage to simulate keystrokes on a victim machine. In this paper we propose an anomaly based approach to detect such an attack using a biometric called keystroke dynamics.
