Wireless mice and keyboards are widely used for convenience, but many rely on proprietary communication protocols with unknown levels of security. Unlike standards such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, these protocols are often undocumented, making it difficult to assess their resistance to eavesdropping or spoofing attacks. This thesis presents a practical methodology to evaluate the security of wireless mice and keyboards using proprietary communication protocols. The approach relies on capturing radio signals with a Software-Defined Radio, demodulating the transmissions, and reverse-engineering the protocol to understand its structure. Exploitation techniques were then implemented using a Crazyradio PA dongle and a custom Python script to sniff or spoof packets. A variety of devices from different brands, all available on the market, were analyzed. The results show that most of these peripherals are vulnerable to either sniffing, spoofing, or both. This work highlights a real and often overlooked threat, as many users rely on such wireless devices without being aware of the potential security risks they carry.
