File: libusbwin64develfilter1260exe new
Platform: Windows (64-bit)
Version: 1.2.6.0
Type: Development + Filter Driver Installer
Once installed, you can write a simple C program to communicate with a USB device. Here is a minimal example that finds a device by Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) and prints its descriptor.
#include <stdio.h> #include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>int main() libusb_device **devs; libusb_context *ctx = NULL; int r; ssize_t cnt; libusbwin64develfilter1260exe new
r = libusb_init(&ctx); if (r < 0) return 1; cnt = libusb_get_device_list(ctx, &devs); if (cnt < 0) libusb_exit(ctx); return 1; for (ssize_t i = 0; i < cnt; i++) struct libusb_device_descriptor desc; r = libusb_get_device_descriptor(devs[i], &desc); if (r < 0) continue; printf("VID: %04x, PID: %04x\n", desc.idVendor, desc.idProduct); libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1); libusb_exit(ctx); return 0;
Compile with:
gcc -o usb_list usb_list.c -lusb-1.0
This works because the filter driver installed by libusbwin64develfilter1260exe new exposes the device to libusb’s user-space API. Compile with:
gcc -o usb_list usb_list
Assuming you have a trusted installer named exactly as above and Windows 10/11 x64:
The word "new" is ambiguous. It could mean: This works because the filter driver installed by
Important: Because new is not standard, exercise caution. We will discuss security later in this article.
Unlike a standard device driver, a filter driver sits "on top" of your device's existing driver. This allows you to keep the original driver functionality (so your device still appears in Windows Device Manager normally) while granting special software (like firmware flashers) low-level access to the USB port.
