Re: Programmable USB device that can send keystrokes?

[Matt Bragano <maestro485 () comcast net>]

I assume you want to take advantage of the auto-execute property on many 
Windows machines.  Unfortunately, many Windows machines are configured 
to automatically execute a given program when a disc or USB stick is 
inserted even though it isn't the most secure behavior.  However, the 
goal you are describing really isn't possible.  Any program that is 
executed on a given machine must be loaded into memory one way or 
another.  Apart from writing some low level assembly, you're likely 
going to have to employ some other system libraries to initiate a mouse 
movement event in whatever code you write.  (Of course, even the 
assembly code will be 'loaded' on the computer, but possibly more 
discreetly.)  Despite this, auto-execute can still be quite useful as a 
security test.  Write some "malicious" code, toss the USB stick in the 
machine and see what happens.
