Device Control: Allow Special USB Drives

MatthiasSchwarzer

Dear Community,

 

we have a few USB Drives with a Special PID (Produkt ID) eg: USB\VID_0815&PID1234 (this is the "Hardware-ID" from Windows Device Manager). I want to whitelist the sticks with this PID in DeviceControl, but unfortunately Device Control only shows the "Device ID" and "Model-ID" that does not contain the PID.

Is there any way that you can select these USB sticks based on the PID?

    Hello MatthiasSchwarzer,

    any chance to change this?
    I'm not Sophos but I don't think so. It's the use of the USB device as disk that causes Device Control to interfere and thus it present the "offending" device.
    It's not clear (to me) why you need to exempt based on the PID - do the devices appear with different Model IDs in Device Control?

    Yes, we have USB Devices with custom PID, so the idea is, to exclude all other USB devices and only allow our Custom PID´s

    Hello MatthiasSchwarzer,

    Devices with custom PID
    I see. You could suggest it on the Ideas forum or vote for an existing idea. Right now it's not possible and adding this would require quite some implementation effort. As the Overview article states DevCtrl is port agnostic - consulting Windows Device Manager shows that it's the disk device that is disabled, not the underlying USB device. So apparently DevCtrl doesn't "dig deeper" when it encounters a potentially controlled device.
