DFU Util users/developers,

I am new to using this utility and would like to understand if it applies to any my use cases.

Use case 1

I recently came into some USB flash drives that I wish to change the vendor id and product id on (they have bogus vendor id and product id numbers making them un-writable).

Use case 2

I would also like to be able to examine the firmware from a USB stick (several years ago I was scammed on a USB stick I purchased that had a bogus capacity and had to argue with PayPal to get my money back). So it is surely not an unreasonable thing to wish to check a USB stick's firmware for that or other security purposes (passive injection of code to impact BIOS or the OS).

Can this utility perform any of the aforementioned enumerated activities when used in a Linux environment? If not, any idea what would do so?

Mailing list question - can this email list be commanded to send daily or weekly digests or should I expect a multitude of emails coming from individuals replying to threads?

Thanks in advance and do stay safe (avoid the thugs) and healthy.
