/* * checkm8 A5 demonstration for Arduino (USB Host Shield) * * This shows the principles only: * - Sending malformed USB control transfers * - Triggering the USB DFU buffer overflow * * Actual exploit requires: * - Native USB host with precise timing * - Sending specific USB requests with crafted descriptors * - Loading and executing ARM shellcode */ #include <USBHost.h> #include <Usb.h> setup.bRequest = 0xFE

: While Arduino can detect DFU devices, performing checkm8 requires a full operating system with native USB host controller access. Use a Raspberry Pi or Linux PC instead.
