That does't sound like terrible infosec.
Flash drives are a huge security vulnerability. With more secure workstations you can't plug in any USB peripherals, because they're such big risk.
Write only media is a lot safer, despite the waste it causes.
- rocqua 9y agoI'm pretty sure SD cards have a lot less vulnerabilities than USB sticks. Especially because they cannot pretend to be a keyboard.
- acdha 9y agoThey can still pretend to have / not have files so it’s hard to say that you’ve verified nothing sensitive is leaving or that no malware is coming in.
- lawl 9y agoThere's WiFi enabled SD cards[0]. I had one of those and it was running Linux, you could SSH into it. Maybe the attack-surface to the host computer is smaller (I'm not sure about that either). But there's certainly enough bad stuff an SD card could do.
