The USB HID class describes devices used with nearly every modern computer. Many predefined functions exist in the USB HID class. These functions allow hardware manufacturers to design a product to USB HID class specifications and expect it to work with any software that also meets these specifications. The (HID) Hacker Interface Design is due to the fact that the benefits of a well-defined specification like the USB HID class is the abundance of device drivers available in most modern operating systems. So this hardware attack is cross platform. And ultra simple to carry out.
