You can have a some much less malicious fun applying the same idea to old games controllers. People typically put flash drives in them with an emulator + roms. It would be fun to put a whole linux distro on there that boots straight into the emulator, with a special menu, but I've never seen that.<p><a href="http://edshowtos.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-make-your-own-nes-usb-controller.html" rel="nofollow">http://edshowtos.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-make-your-own-n...</a> (NES)<p><a href="http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=35526" rel="nofollow">http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=35526</a> (SNES)<p>You can find a bunch of other hacks like this on HaD:<p><a href="http://hackaday.com/page/1/?s=%22usb+hub%22" rel="nofollow">http://hackaday.com/page/1/?s=%22usb+hub%22</a>
OMG, my mother's internet was dropping off and on yesterday, and as I was trying to diagnose the problem, she asked "maybe its the mouse." No mom, your mouse is not causing the Internet to drop....<p>Maybe it was the mouse. Damn.

cool, but if they were given a single IP to target why could they have the mouse on another machine? alternatively: if they could attack other machines, why not use another machine that was exposed via the network? something isn't consistent.
so, was the person who plugged in the mouse fired? I mean, while the firing would be understandably and justifiably "for cause", I personally feel disgust about provocations.
