Any idea what types of miners may be susceptible?
Unfortunately that is not easy to divine, other than:
It would have to use a direct USB connection - so if it's using a network connection, it is fine.
The interface would have to be a direct USB<->UART interface - so if it's using custom drivers, it should be fine.
That should leave very few miners as it is.
The USB<->UART interface would have to be an FTDI one - so if it's using e.g. SI Labs' CP210x, it should be fine. Unfortunately that's one of the parts that's not so easy to find out, other than looking at the USB device list or looking at the hardware directly.
Lastly, it would have to be using the FTDI vendor ID and product ID
and the FTDI drivers
and have a counterfeit FTDI chip. For the former you could check the USB drivers list, but to figure out if an FTDI chip is a counterfeit one or not.. depends on how good the counterfeit was made
A google search -
https://www.google.com/?#q=site%3Abitcointalk.org%20ftdi - yields some products that are at least associated with FTDI chips by virtue of requiring the drivers.
He deals with lots of stick miners and i would assume this would be mostly that but definitely need more confirmation.
Actually,
I don't think any of the StickMiners use an FTDI chip, but I honestly wouldn't know without manually checking.
I do know that the NanoFury ones all use Microchip's MCP2210 ( I think the very earliest prototypes used the FT232 ).
The BlockErupter USB, AntMiner U2, iMiner and Avalon Mono use the Silicon Labs CP2102.
The Bi•Fury uses the NXP (LPC)11U24 (microcontroller with USB support)
The Fury Thumb uses some sort of Atmel microcontroller.
The Avalon Nano probably leverages its NXP (LPC)11U14, though I can't tell if that other chip is actually the comms and not the power management (its proximity to other components leads me to think it's power management).
I never did procure a Hex•Fury, and I can't tell from Dogie's guide picture what chip it uses - but the guide also suggests using the WinUSB drivers (via Zadig) for it, so that should be fine regardless.The Twin Chip Fury and DualMiners do appear to use FTDI chips. The Twin Chip Fury probably uses the FT232HL. The DualMiner uses the FT2232HL and is
not susceptible (the driver code specifically applies only to the FT232 line).
