According to Hak5, the cable “allows new payloads to be created, saved, and transmitted entirely remotely. The cable is built with Red Teams in mind with features like additional boot payloads, no USB enumeration until payload execution, and the ability to forensically erase the firmware, which causes the cable to fall entirely back to an innocuous state. And these are just the features that have been revealed so far.
MG developed the OMG Cable as a “personal hardware learning project," before it morphed into a full-scale development project. And it is this evolution from prototype to production-ready unit that has been occupying his time. Intel agencies around the world specialize in after-market adaptations of original equipment to ensure they pass muster and don't arouse suspicion.
