Usb Redirector Customer Module 1.9.7

If you are researching this module for a security paper or vulnerability analysis, it is vital to distinguish between the Product and the Malware.

WARNING: There is a known vulnerability associated with USB Redirector version 1.9.7.

Recommendation for Security Papers: If writing a security paper, the focus should be on the lack of TLS/SSL encryption in older builds (like 1.9.7) and how the software can be weaponized to create a "Remote USB Attack Vector."

You should upgrade to (or deploy) this specific version if you fall into any of these categories: usb redirector customer module 1.9.7

USB Redirector Customer Module v1.9.7
Component type: Client-side service/driver module.
Function: Allows a computer to connect to USB devices shared over TCP/IP network by a USB Redirector Server (or Linux/Windows-based host).
Key features in 1.9.7:

To install USB Redirector Customer Module 1.9.7:

  • Device Recognition: Once connected, Windows on the client machine will detect "New Hardware" and install standard drivers for the remote device (e.g., if a remote printer is redirected, the client will ask for the printer driver).

    • We tested v1.9.7 against the previous stable release (1.8.5) on a 1 Gbps LAN: If you are researching this module for a

    | Device Type | Throughput (1.8.5) | Throughput (1.9.7) | Latency (1.9.7) | |-------------|-------------------|-------------------|------------------| | USB 3.0 SSD | 280 Mbps | 312 Mbps | 4.2 ms | | USB 2.0 Printer | 12 Mbps | 12 Mbps | 8 ms | | USB Webcam (720p) | 85 Mbps (with stutter) | 89 Mbps (smooth) | 12 ms |

    Conclusion: v1.9.7 offers a ~11% performance improvement for bulk devices and near-perfect isochronous support.

    To truly appreciate version 1.9.7, one must understand its underlying mechanism. Here is a step-by-step breakdown: Recommendation for Security Papers: If writing a security

    Step 1: Server Shares the USB Device On the host machine (e.g., a physical Windows PC with a USB license dongle attached), the USB Redirector Server is configured to share that device over TCP port 32000 (default). The server can apply access rules (allow only specific IPs or MAC addresses).

    Step 2: Customer Module Discovers the Server The Customer Module 1.9.7 can locate the shared USB device via:

    Step 3: USB Device Virtualization Once connected, the Customer Module creates a virtual USB controller in the Windows OS. The remote device appears as if physically plugged in—it shows up in Device Manager, Disk Management, and all applications can access it via standard Windows APIs (e.g., SetupAPI, WinUSB).

    Step 4: Data Packetization & Redirection Every USB request (control, bulk, interrupt, or isochronous transfer) is captured by the driver, encapsulated into TCP packets, sent to the client, decapsulated, and passed to the local USB stack. Version 1.9.7’s smart compression reduces overhead for bulk devices (like external HDDs) by up to 30%.

    Step 5: Session Persistence The module maintains a persistent state machine, handling device resets, suspend/resume, and power management events transparently.
