I've been wondering about that all day. Is it really not easily software-mockable? I'm wondering what it would take to create a "software defined" usb device capable of spoofing serial IDs. I have noted a number of people using the USB ID for everything from lock systems, to software protection tokens to OS login devices. This is something I would like to look into. It doesn't seem safe to me.
