Feasibility of sending USB packets with Arduino

Projects General Guidance

I was wondering if it is possible to acquire USB packets from Wireshark and then program an Arduino to resend them.

To elaborate further, I have a device that can be connected to a computer and through a Windows program, data can be sent to that device. If I were to capture all the necessary packets, can I have the Arduino send the same packets to get that data to the device?

I found this article that goes over a little bit of what I’m trying to do: USB Sniffing and Programming - GeekThis

The first part sums it up “ how to take a USB device and write software that can interact with the device without having publicly available documentation.“

I was just wondering if it’s possible to have the Arduino interact with a device through sending copied packets and if there’s anything that can guide me on how to achieve it

Seems a bit pointless - why not let them go directly while Wireshark is taking a copy of them?

At the very least you will need an Arduino with a microprocessor that can directly deal with USB - such as the 32U4 in a Leonardo.

Then you will need to learn how to program it to deal with USB - which probably means that you will first have to destroy its normal ability to have programs uploaded from the PC over the USB connection. All well past my pay grade.
