Hi Philip,

It is a USB data blocker, the idea being you plug that between a untrusted usb port and your phone/device cable so you can charge your phone but the port cannot talk data to your phone/device.

Subject: [AusNOG] AusNOG 2022 was awesome
Thank you everyone who contributed to the event, whether that was helping with organisation, providing content, sponsorship, just being there, or arranging for your staff attend. I always enjoy it, and feel lucky to be part of such an awesome community. I especially enjoyed the presentations from our NZ friends – they were very entertaining. And of course seeing Vint Cerf was a real treat!

I have a question about the gift bag… what is the IAA USB gadget? I have a general rule of not plugging in untrusted USB devices so I haven’t done anything with it yet. It appears to be a USB A male and female connector with some unknown function in the middle. It could be a keylogger, simulated keyboard for pranks, a USB drive or wireless dongle plus hub combo, a very small USB extension cable, or any number of other things.
