Logitech keyboards and mice vulnerable to extensive cyber attacks

@fribbledom If I only have a mouse, is it still possible to make it impersonate a keyboard?

@mansr @fribbledom given that the exploit was shown working on a presenter device, which does not act as a keyboard and in fact has a filter in software to block any keystrokes sent

i would guess that it probably does

@ky0ko @fribbledom What does a "presenter" device present as?

@mansr @fribbledom that's a good question and i don't know

however the article specifically mentions that there is a filter in place such that a device classified as a presenter should not be able to send letter keypresses, and this is bypassed in the exploit
