Was das ursprünglich ein USB 2.0 Typ-A-Weibchen, das ich auseinandergenommen habe, und ist es immer noch in der Lage, bösartige Software oder Code auf meinem PC auszuführen, wenn es angeschlossen wird? Ich kann weitere Bilder liefern, wenn gewünscht.
Serial numbers, text, and chips all have the potential to be fake. Yes, there are several methods that could technically deceive your hardware. Whether it actually does depends on how you investigate. Only one approach will reveal the truth. Plus, it might make things easier if you understand its origins.
It's a Bluetooth device designed for an unauthorized mouse, though you should remain cautious about potential hidden threats.
It's easy to create anything with enough effort. The design appears typical, featuring an antenna-like wave at the top, scattered solder points and chips, plus a main chip beneath a black shape. If you're unsure, simply return it. From images alone it's nearly impossible to confirm transmission or code functionality. However, buying from a trusted physical store would be safer, as they carefully select products. If purchasing online via Amazon, eBay, or similar sites, exercise extra caution. For future reference, many brands like Logitech sell very affordable mice (around $8-10), so avoid risky sources if you're concerned about USB devices.
Honestly, it doesn't really help. My Razor fake mechanical keyboard needs software to display the RGB effects. You also need an account and register online, which makes sense since it can't just work as a standalone program. Spoiler: I went with the fake version because I skipped the real rubber pads. If I had known about the registration, I’d have chosen something else. The worst part is that after regular use, about a third of the keycaps start wearing out or turning white, and the black keys show through within three months.
It could potentially damage your system, so adding any extra software or programs would make it even simpler to compromise.
Any device with even a small processor or storage controller can be altered to execute harmful code. This applies to Bluetooth/WiFi adapters, USB sticks, memory cards (including MicroSD), and similar items. From the factory, these gadgets are unlikely to harbor malicious software unless a major security flaw went unnoticed for an extended period. For attack purposes, avoid connecting suspicious devices and keep your hardware physically secured at all times.
I believe the comparison isn't entirely accurate. The issue for OP stems from his concern about malware when connecting an unknown USB dongle to his computer. Taking your example, a genuine Razer keyboard won’t contain malware and will function properly as intended. While some features might require additional software or accounts, the listing clearly states you’d need them to use those options. Even if people criticize Razer’s software, it’s unlikely they’d install malicious programs like cryptominers. Such incidents are rare and would likely result in legal consequences. TL;DR: Buying standard products usually avoids malware risks entirely.
