   I know that there are "USB condoms" that ensure no data is transferred over the wire, only power.

   Does there exist a "USB data condom" which is specifically designed for removable storage and allows a drive to be mounted through it but bans *other* types of data transfer, IE, it prevents a plugged in device from pretending to be a keyboard or hacking my PCI bus via Thunderbolt or whatever the fuck?

   Could such a USB data condom exist?

     @mcc Yes it could but I'm not aware of one having been made.

     Another variant I want is mass storage passthru but with blocking of any write commands.
