ecutek inside of KVM: A story of how "not supported" doesnt mean it wont work
Disclaimer: If you trash your car dont cry to me. This works for me hopefully it will for you.
Prereqs: Debian 9.4 Stretch (any gnu/linux distro that supports kvm should work) windows 10 installed in kvm (i used Win10_1709_English_x64.iso on a home N with clicking no cd key. additionally i gave it 2 cores an 2.5gb of ram on a 40gb qcow partion. just look this part up if you dont know how) ecutek cable ecutek dongle Instructions: step 0: Install windows in kvm. Once you are complete, power it off and plug in your cable and dongle. step 1: Right click on your running windows 10 machine and open it. Step 2: On the left side bar right click for a drop down and select "Add Hardware" Step 3: Left click on "USB Host Device" on the left panel, then in the main panel select your ecutek usb cable. And click the "Finish" button on the bottom right. Note: You will probably have a different Device ID than mine. Step 4: Repeat step 3 but do it for your dongle which is "Data Encryption System Ltd. DK2" Step 5: You should now see 2 USB devices under Serial 1 on the left bar. Confirm those, and start your VM. Step 6: Download and install ecutek software, and open it up. Step 7: Do whatever you need to, you are officially a hacker |

Is this just a tutorial demonstrating how a virtual machine running windows can be used to run ECUTEK software? Doesn’t their website say virtual machines may work but aren’t supported? Where was the hack? Sorry, I feel like something is going over my head.

the site says that anything other than windows is not supported. but im saying that "not supported" doesnt mean that it wont work. more or less all you have to do is pass in your usb host controllers and it fires right up. i had to borrow my friends craptop and i was having issues with it. so i decided to give windows in kvm a try and it worked on the first try.

Something ti note that I forgot, you should remove and add the USB every time. The reason.for this is when you remove.them, odds are theiy change in the system and wont get passed in correctly. It took me a new minutes to figure that out last night. If you dont get 2 green lights in ecutek, shut down your guest, exit out of your KVM manager, replugin your USB, add them.and start up. Now you should have 2 green lights
