Most USB thumb drives can be reprogrammed to silently infect computers -
The problem is that the majority of USB thumb drives do not protect their firmware.
This means that a malware program can replace the firmware on a USB device like a thumb drive by using secret SCSI (Small computer system interface) connects and make it act like some other type of device, for example, a computer.
The spoofed keyboard could then be used to emulate key presses and send commands to download and execute a malware program.

Topologies
Bus
-
Each node/device is connected to a main cable
Each node is directly connected to every other node in the network
Advantages
-
-
If one node fails, it will not affect the whole network
-
-
Star
-
Has a central server/computer
Nodes/devices around it are connected to it
Each node is indirectly connected to each other through the central server
Advantages
If one node or its connection breaks, it doesn’t affect the other computers nor their connections[3]

Mesh
-
Partial mesh
Some nodes connected to all the others
Some nodes connected to only those other nodes with which they exchange the most data
Ring
Each node/device connects to exactly two other nodes/devices
Forms a single continuous path (a ring)
Data travels from node to node
-
Client Server
The client-server model is the relationship between two computers in which one, the client, makes a service request from another, the server.
The key point about a client-server model is that:
the client is dependent on the server to provide and manage the information.<<
