Users Really Do Plug in USB Drives They Find [pdf]
- kup0 11y agoEven knowing better now, it's still tempting. In most cases, throwing it in a isolated linux system should be okay. Of course, unless it's one of those USB-Killer devices that pushes voltage back... Curiosity is fun and dangerous at the same time
- ChuckMcM 11y agoVery interesting. I actually built a "thumb drive inspector" out of one of the ST Micro butterfly boards, basically its USB OTG port can act as a host and look at the contents of a file, and if it turns out to be a suicide drive or a drive waiting to exploit you can see that too (at the risk of losing your $19 board. From a security perspective I would expect places with high security requirements would leave drives around on purpose to find people unable to resist the temptation.
