@GreatScottGadgets Waiting for #URTI as my first #HackRF device. Other than that still in 💚 with #Cynthion for #USB hacking.

Video of the talk @mossmann gave at ShmooCon 2025 is here! Watch to learn how the open source ecosystem and FPGA architecture behind tools like Cynthion have made USB research more accessible. https://youtu.be/eedIlLA37XU?si=u1KRjLqBZX-9-hB3

Check out part two of our video series about Cynthion, the USB multitool from Great Scott Gadgets. In the video, Martin explains the basics of Facedancer and demonstrates how to use Cynthion and Facedancer to emulate a PS5 controller. https://youtu.be/MMZAyQuZHvs?si=xCmEgq36lrnMMW4p

Let's update the firmware on my emulated device 😂 #cynthion
@litui since you have #cynthion on your hands, have you considered facedancer to send your desired reports? Might makes it easier to experiment first.

Mike Walters, one of our engineers, has used Cynthion to reverse-engineer the protocol his VNA uses to communicate with electronic calibration modules over USB.

Sniffing PS5 Controller Packets with Cynthion

No, I don’t think I have a #cynthion addiction. I could unplug them anytime. But thanks for asking! 🙈
Martin made a really neat video investigating the #PS5 #USB controller with #Cynthion. He's hoping to be able to use Cynthion to emulate a controller and implement a tool-assisted #speedrun (TAS). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHjmOFIk2nk

is another interesting video about #Cynthion by @GreatScottGadgets. Michael (@mossmann) is giving some insights about their #USB protocol analyzer they had developed for many years. It's an amazing kit for all folks doing USB hacking and RE 😀!
