Let's assume there is no internet so the keyboard cannot connect to any URL and get a .exe, install it and run it. Could still the keyboard run a process in Windows? The only thing that comes to my mind, is a BIOS giving priority to USB ports to boot an OS, and then the keyboard would run a rootkit that would remain parallel to the OS. Then it would return the control to the Windows boot manager to proceed normally with the boot chain. | |
