Paw Detector – Malicious USB cables detector

What is PawDetector?

The PawProtector Keylogger Detector is designed to identify all known keyloggers and malicious USB cables, ensuring your devices remain secure. It also functions as a reliable data blocker, enabling safe charging without data compromise.

Understanding PawDetector

Malicious cables are hacking tools that have been rising in popularity in recent years. With a simple cable, hackers can deploy numerous types of attacks. Some of these include keystroke injection, mouse injection, payload injection, and full-speed USB hardware keylogging. These cables are designed and constructed so they are as hard as possible to differentiate from a normal cable. This is where PawDetector comes in.

How Does PawDetector Work?

Using the device is straightforward: connect your USB cable of dubious origin to the detector, then plug the detector into your computer’s USB port. The LED indicator provides instant feedback, confirming that the device is active and operational. If the red LED turns on and blinks, the cable is malicious; if not, the cable is fine.

Our team has conducted extensive analyses of various keyloggers and malicious USB cables encountered in real-world scenarios. Many malicious devices can be identified by their unusual physical designs, often due to oversized components or poor construction quality.
