Re: A tool for the paranoid...

On your own laptop you have a daemon running that toggles the USB ports in a particular pattern that the ZapStik responds to by not zapping. Needs some extra USB-foo on the stick, but anyone who can build this can build the extra USB-foo

Cue a rather expensive round of debugging..
