- Just a note about dongles. From personal experience, I know that at least
- one popular ADB dongle is not NEARLY as secure as it seems on the surface.
- At the risk of sounding somewhat immodest...
-
- I managed to completely break one dongle's protection scheme in a fairly
- general way in just a couple of afternoons of playing with some trap patches.
- I did this to prove to the company I work for that we should discontinue our
- reliance on a dongle protection scheme for our software products.
-
- Just my $0.02 worth.
