I've investigated one of the recovered devices and it actually has a Texas
Instruments USB hub chip installed. So it does show up as an additional device. I haven't gotten around >to testing if the other device we've recovered acts as a hub also, but in theory we could deny all devices except for the mouse and keyboard. In general, a computer is going to have at least a USB root hub, if not an additional built-in USB hub (at least in terms of the device/driver level stuff), so it would be a question of whether those tools are able to differentiate between a necessary, built-in USB hub and the keylogger.
