"How can I put a autorun file on my USB mouse?"

LOL its really easy. You've got an empty box of mostly air, so you open it up, solder four wires in parallel, done. All you need is for the victim to plug it in once for a few seconds. Yes this is why its dumb for windows admins not to disable autorun.

"can't think that you can own it."

The flash contains linux_installation.sh with:

#!/bin/bash

clear

echo Run this file as root to install the closed

echo source USB mouse driver for your

echo new "whatever" brand USB mouse.

(insert lots of stuff most folks won't understand which owns the machine and certainly didn't come from any mouse mfgr)

I think you could have hilarious fun on air-gapped networks plugging in wifi dongles and bluetooth dongles mounted inside a USB gadget. How your system responds to gaining a keylogger or another extra HID device or another extra network device would be interesting to watch. Just a COTS keylogger could be interesting.



just cute. Poor soul, has no idea how USB mice works on linux shakes head.

( appollogizes in advance for the unavoidable ad-hominem comment ).
