Riddle me this /g/. >there's gonna be flash drive delivered

Use a virtual machine to safely sort that shit out

flash usb and encrypt it.

Disconnect from the network?

Run it in a VM?

How do you run a VM in windows 10

Stop working with criminals until you're competent, duh.

yeah nice one dipshits, the usb stil has to be mounted to be passed through.


use a live cd or live usb, boot into that, then mount the usb.

>>56617392
Open it on linux

>>56617392
Get another USB, use it as a Ubuntu live USB, copy only ur files (if ur files are executables, you are likely fucked anyway)

Also, VM will not protect you from BadUSB.

I had no idea you could do that. I thought it was only for linux

>>56617525
yeah they are huge asshole like that

>>56617538
You are stupid

>>56617635
Nothing wrong with that when I have people like you to do the thinking.

>>56617392
download ubuntu boot cd. boot ubuntu, plug your flash drive copy.

>>56617538
silly anon, WM and VM isn't same thing
btw, most of USB viruses (autorun) can easily deleted from linux, you can dual boot your netbook for critical times like this

>>56617392
What everyone else has ready said about a liveCD but make sure you unplug your drives first

Mount it in TempleOS and have God destroy the malware.

download usb drive, plug live cd, copy malware and unplug your data

>>56617392
3D print a clone of the flash drive. Give it to ur friend. When he finds out it's not working, he will give it back to you. Then, after some time, you will return the actual drive to him saying that you were able to fix it and recover all the data except what you had copied. And that you also didn't retain that data on your own PC. As in, it's gone. AND you didn't run his malware-infected flash drive.

How to protect against 99% of USB viruses:
>run Linux

How to protect against 99.9% of USB viruses:
>run Linux and flash the drive

How to protect against 100% of USB viruses:
>Spend $5 on a disconnected rpi zero that you trash afterwards

Fuck this is why I hate buying chink USBs. They work but I'm always worried about malware and viruses.

Fucking neo-/g/

Just use it, fuck the network.

Run it through REMnux

>>56617784

This.

>>56617392

1. Buy a raspberry pi zero and a 3.3v usb/ttl adapter
2. Transfer the data on the pi
3. Connect to the pi through the adapter
4. Connect the unknown usb device
5. Copy your files
6. Disconnect the usb device
7. Depending on how paranoid you are, either destroy the micro sd card from the pi, or the whole pi

>>56617392
I don't understand your problem anon. Are you retarded? Maybe you shouldn't use a computer.

Jam it up your ass. Won't help but you should do it because you're a fucking moron.

it actually does not unless you're using a shitty os

>>56617392
Copy the files to your phone via OTG.

You all don't know jack shit about computer security.

>>56619783
Implying usb hard drive are a security threat.

inb4: continue arguing with me and you'll learn something

Put stuff on the USB drive and then don't put it in any networked computer

>>56619807
They are, a hard drive can act as an ethernet adapter or any other usb device at the same time.

>>56619783
it's a fucking USB drive with malware. You don't need some secret knowledge to reformat it.
The live CD/USB method should be safe enough anyways.

>>56619839
And? With a good firewall you're protected against ethernet adapter. WHat kind of device can harm a computer. I wanna laugh.

>>56619842

Yes, set there and laugh, dear god /g/ is full of wannabe hackers.

>>56620102
So you're unable to provide valid example of how it is dangerous.

Not a IT security problem.

>>56617392
don't be a nigger, only way to be sure is to use linux to open it.
Easiest way to know how you could be infected is to know what is the OS the owner of the drive is using. Most likely Windows.

>>56620226
>"WHat kind of device can harm a computer. I wanna laugh."

Also, theirs other bits of memory and whatnot often on these things compleetly seprate from the main memory module, although it might mostly be in SD cards and Hard-drives.
Mind you ,I'm not claiming to be a hacker either, just all these people spouting off all self important while knowing very little is cringe.

>>56620198
>thinking that a flash drive that can present itself as any kind of usb device isn't perfect for malicious stuff
>still claim to be knowledable in computer security

The usb controller on the flash drive can present itself as a hid device as an example.

>>56617392
OP, what the fuck is on the flash drive? Who is delivering it to you and for what purpose?

>>56620313
>The usb controller on the flash drive can present itself as a hid device as an example.
Please develop. What it can be a keyboard or a mouse? It's far less dangerous than the browser you're using to browse the web.

Still waiting for a valid example. Not for shitty beware. I want concrete case.

>>56619879
interesting but
>not tested on linux
the live system shouldn't really have any usefull data, and wouldn't reformating the drive erase the OS and prevent credential transfer?
Is there something i'm not getting here?

>>56620189
>USB killer
I'm asuming OP is getting a legit USB drive with malware on it because
>Need to use THIS flash drive

I don't know about firmware level shit though

>>56620338
>b-but it doesn't count

Have you ever heard of something called a "HID payload"? This can easily be used to execute commands.

>>56620340
I know, I was just responding to the guy that made that quote mostly, I'm guessing that theirs no reason for them to send him something much more expensive just to fuck with him; moreover, it probably needs to be rather bulky for the battery.

>>56620390
>This can easily be used to execute commands.
And? Like I say it's as dangerous as the browser.

>>56617392
Install Gentoo

>>56620434
>using a browser is the same as giving someone who can type lightning fast(literally) and wants to fuck up your computer keyboard access

Are you retarded?
