#Signet #Saturday was a small simple, task: figure out how USB device names, device manufacturers, devive codes and model codes work; find the place in the code that controlls these things, update the string to remove the company who is no longer involved, and potentially update the udev rules packages with the client to work with new name.

Turns out, everything was based on the ID and the manufacturer name can be changed independently. No need for client updates nor udev rule changes. Just a simple change to the firmware and a quick flash.

Also, bow I know how to modify the firmware to masquerade as any device ID, so that could be fun.l too. 😈
