Nice article, happen to have been working on a usbip system for my Macbook M3 using similar tech.

Worth noting that, this approach is limitted on newer macOS systems: can't build libusb "userspace USB drivers" for devices that are supported by macOS. Without manually disabling some Security features, can't override drivers for system-recognized USB devices.

The collapse of white-collar work as the most hopeful catastrophe of our time

Nice concept! A lot of modal spam could probably reduced, very distracting.

As someone who has witnessed BiScience tracking in the past, I am not surprised to to hear that they might be involved in all this. They came up in the past when researchers investigated the cyberhaven compromise [1][2]. Though the correlation might not all be there its kind of disappointing

To note, there are undocumented detections to even Proxys, for example using `in` operator in v8 (such as `proxiedFunc in 1` for some proxied function). Really cool to see a project like this.
