FaceDancer 21 Circuit Board - New Universal Case for PenTests

The FaceDancer allows a computer (or "host") to masquerade as a USB "device" to communicate with other Hosts. One USB ports connects to the victim (or host) the other connects to a development machine. Python can then be used to send USB commands in real time.This allows passive monitoring and injecting it into the USB bus.

Think of this as doing the same thing the Bus Pirate does for SPI and i2c, except that it’s doing it on the USB protocol itself. This way you can feel your way through all of the road-bumps of developing a new device (or testing an exploit) without the need to continually compile and flash your hardware.
