It would be cool to create a version of this that just sounded a really, really loud siren. Then you could leave it lying around the office, and listen out for

    and of course label it "boss name personal" On that note, using it as a pentesting device could be interesting. Perhaps just use the "beep" so the auditor can see how many people trust putting anything into their PC, then at the end cite USB killer.

      "loosing" USB sticks with a trojan that just phones home and deletes itself seems to be the usual way to do that in pentests.

  Yours is the 2015 version of the 1980s-era DOS app that displayed a fake word processor UI with the top portion of a fake but intriguing letter visible. You would leave this app running and then leave for lunch. An office snoop would see the fake letter and want to read more, then press a key to scroll down, which would activate a siren sound on the PC speaker and display some silly "you're busted" message on the screen.
