Write our own controlling application in Python and pyusb.

Capture USB packets using Wireshark and analyze them.

Run original Windows application under virtual machine.

Attach USB device to VirtualBox running Windows 10.

Your device might be different, but the simple ones are usually similar to each other and share basic communication protocol using USB control or HID transfers. It is a common module widely available on eEbay or Aliexpress for few dollars. Having this information gathered, we will proceed to write ultra simple user-space application in Python and pyusb library.įor the demonstration I’ll use cheap relay board marked USB-Relay-2, HW-343. I demonstrate how to listen to USB communication between VirtualBox and your physical USB device. But we want open source Linux program, don’t we? In many such cases, the communication protocol is quite simple, we just need to get to know it. It goes with its own Windows application. It is not ordinary one, like pendrive or mouse, but something custom.
