uber simple program to send/receive usb frames to any device?

[JPortici]

Does anybody know of such a thing?
Whenever i start a new project the first baby steps in communication as done by sending some data and looking at the response if it matches the expected output. This is before i start writing the pc software for it.
For example, if it's using a com port i just open realterm and push some keys. For canbus i open canking or busmaster and send a frame. for BLE i use some app in which i select the service/characterisic and read/write accordingly
Is there a simillar thing for USB?
could also be useful for debugging of an unknown peripheral

ideally i select the devide (VID/PID) and read/write to any available endpoint
i could probably write one of course.. but every time i say nah, let's just start with the application

Which OS?

In Linux, it'd be simple to write one using the "usbfs" interface (/dev/bus/usb/bbb/ddd); see here.

Personally, I tend to just configure one USB endpoint (pair) as USB Serial, though, which behaves like a pair of unidirectional pipes, and use bash (printf built-in and <> redirection) and stty to set the device to raw mode.

The real problem is when you have to *snif* a USB device that uses mixed USB-methods[]={ hid-only, bulk, isochronous, ...}.

I'm trying to reverse engineering a damn video capture USB-v2 "hi-speed" device, and it sends different packets on different endpoints with different methods, mainly bulk but also isochronous ... making the data-logging for late analysis a bloody hell.

Worse still, the USB-device only works with Windows, so ... you need a Windows USB-sniffer to log, and late a Linux machine to reproduce commands and sets

Yes reverse-engineering can be tough.

That's why a Windows program that send/receive/sniff USB frames will be usefull to me, too

Windows! I had no doubts that in linux (and possibly OSX - though i wouldn't be surprised if it was cumbersome for "security reasons") it's something that can already be done from the command line

For sniffing: I think that you can make wireshark work with USB frames? i never managed to make it work under windows though but there are already programs that do it

Unfortunately, i already started wirting the actual application for this board so another wasted opportunity for me to develop such a software
