I stand corrected. Forgot about this possible avenue. But this will still |
| 11 |
require the person already has access to the system. |

It does bring another possible access, most servers have iKVM/IPMI systems |
| 15 |
installed for remote management. Those also allow USB devices to be connected |
| 16 |
over network. I would, however, class access to these parts of the system as |
| 17 |
"physical" access. |
