Package: usbip
Severity: wishlist
Some tools (like Gnuk) offer USB device emulation, exported to the host
for testing via usbip.
However, when using usbip in this way, any local user account with
packet-sniffing privilege (e.g. members of group "wireshark" in a common
debian convention) get access to the traffic over the USB port.
It would be great to enable usbip-style device exposure over a
SOCK_STREAM unix-domain socket as well as a TCP-based socket, since this
would make it possible to provide emulated USB devices without routing
traffic through the networking stack.
