Meme
Human Input Devices are typically keyboard and mouse over USB or device supplied devices. Other input source on audio and video feeds.
Spoofing
an app on a computer can control keyboard and mouse input to a browser, but it depends on the permissions, security settings, and the method used. Here are some common ways this can be achieved:
Methods for Controlling Keyboard & Mouse Input
- Accessibility APIs – Many operating systems provide APIs that allow apps to simulate keyboard and mouse input for accessibility purposes.
- Automation Tools – Software like AutoHotkey (AHK), Selenium, and Puppeteer can send keyboard and mouse events to a browser.
- Remote Control Software – Apps like TeamViewer, Remote Mouse, and VNC allow remote control of a computer, including browser interactions.
- Browser Extensions – Some browser extensions can manipulate input, but they require explicit user permissions.
- Operating System-Level Hooks – Advanced applications can use low-level system hooks to intercept and send input events.
Security Considerations
- Permissions Required – Most modern operating systems and browsers restrict unauthorized input control to prevent malware.
- Sandboxing & Isolation – Browsers often isolate processes to prevent external apps from injecting input.
- User Consent – Apps typically need explicit user approval to control input.
