Challenge

We recommend experimenting with the code to learn how it works or try to improve its functionality. For example, how can we further validate the VID and PID input to ensure they are valid? Can we perform this same check on the returned UID values on lines 55 and 59? 

Another extension to our first script is to consider offline environments. How can we modify this code to allow someone to run in an air-gapped environment? What arguments can be used to change the behavior depending on the user's need for offline access?

Programs are constantly evolving and are never truly finished products. There are plenty of other improvements that can be made here and we invite you to create and share the modifications to this and all of your other forensic Python scripts.
