USB Identity Spoofing
Control how a ZeroTrace HID device presents itself to the host, its name, vendor and product identity.

Every USB device tells the host who it is, a vendor identity, a product identity, and text names. A ZeroTrace HID device lets you set that identity, so to the host it can look like a specific brand of keyboard rather than a generic device.
What it does for you
- Blend in. Make the device present the vendor and product names of an ordinary keyboard, so it appears unremarkable in the host's device list.
- Consistency across tests. Pin a fixed identity so the same device always enumerates the same way, useful when a test depends on the host recognising a particular keyboard.
- Randomise. By default the device can take on a randomised identity each time, so it does not always look the same.
What you can set
You configure the identity from the ZeroTrace app:
- Spoof mode
- How the identity is chosen, for example a fixed identity you set, or a randomised one (the default).
- Vendor name
- The manufacturer name the host sees.
- Product name
- The product name the host sees.
- Serial number
- The serial string the host sees.
- Vendor / product identity
- The numeric USB identity the device reports.
The chosen identity is applied when the device starts up, so it is in place before the host enumerates the keyboard.
