拦截和修改USB数据包

Question

The project is as follows;

I would like to create an application that will be able to see packets going to a USB device. When a certain bit of data that is known is sent to the device, the returning data will be intercepted and modified before the application requesting it, gets it. I have used a USB sniffer to see the packets being sent and I know exactly what bits need to be changed. My two questions are;

1. Is this a possible software solution?
2. Will this have to be a hardware solution?

Additional Information –

• The USB device uses a FTDI245R chip for communication. I know the VID and PID of the device.
• I have experience programming in vb.net and C# but I have never done anything with USB
• I would like the application to be able to have a number entered and changed to hex data and that is what would be sent to the device. The number being entered would be changed frequently.

Any input is appreciated.

It sounds to me like you want an upper filter driver to the FTDI driver. I don't know what class or type of device you are using or if it has a vendor specific driver or not, but here is a sample that shows how to create an upper filter to a vendor specific driver . This example uses the OSRUSBFX2 device and sample driver in the WDK, you'll want to change the code to work and interface with the FTDI driver instead.
