UsbDk functions as a filter driver that sits within the Windows USB stack. Its primary role is to "capture" a USB device, detaching it from its default OS driver and handing full control to a user-mode application. Once the application is finished, the device is released and automatically returns to its original driver.
It supports dynamic device capturing without requiring custom INF files or self-signing, meaning any device can be attached.
Developers use it alongside packet analyzers to capture raw USB descriptors and data packets for reverse engineering or debugging. 📥 How to Install the UsbDk x64 Driver
