One of the more common ways organizations choose to address security on computers is to restrict what USB devices can be utilized within an environment. Depending on the program, there are a number of ways in which devices can be identified and filtered. In most cases, third party programs can utilize the vendor identification and product identification (VID/PID). This article shows how to identify the PID/VID of a device.
