Dead Drops

>>18015412
Forgot to mention- I'll be leaving a copy of Starship Troopers on the drive and making a copy of anything I find. I'll post here later!

>>18015412

This sounds like some sort of bizarre cp entrapment scheme. Or something out of a Spy or Conspiracy Movie.

Or Rick and Morty.

These drives can contain anything.
Spyware, malware, child porn, forbidden knowledge.
Careful where you drop your dead!

We've all heard the stories about people finding usb drives in their workplaces car park, curiosity getting the better of them and then they accidentally the entire office intranet. Just exercise caution. That is all citizen.

How do you locate them?

My recommendation is checking this USB on an old laptop without internet connection. If you have any, of course.

>>18015464
In a live Linux session.

>>18015429
This post is so real and so internet all at once.

That USB is like an erected penis.

Howdy, OP here. First off, how to find them- Deaddrops.com. It's that simple.

So, what did I find? Well... Nothing of note. The only one in my city was last accessed in 2014. The dongle itself was super rusted and I had a hell of a time attaching my computer. It had a couple pictures of fields which I found online anyway. There was a two hour mixtape of shitty pop music and a really old menu for a thai place that doesn't exist anymore. That was kind of a bust.

>>18015890
add some shit. If you drop it, they will come

>>18015920
I did, I left an ebook copy of starship troopers and a movie. I'm probably going to set one up of my own at some point.

Geocaching for file swapping. Cool concept but dangerous as this anon described >>18015429
Doing what this anon said >>18015464 but with a live boot of a Linux flavour would be best practice.

>>18016225
OP here- I probably should have done a trip, huh? I used an old-ass laptop running an outdated version of Arch. There wasn't anything of value on there anyway.

Europoor reporting in.
Matches my experiences sadly. I did some DD myself when that art concept was new, loaded them with /x/ level stuff. Most got removed pretty soon, dunno who did it. Those i did find and checked out contained artsy stuff, nothing more interesting then you would find with 2 minutes search online.
Never found one with really bad stuff on it, fortunately.
A notebook you are prepared to wipe clean after would be a good idea. Sandboxing DOES NOT WORK as you naturally have to attach the stick first to the host computer. If you got any really nasty stuff on it (and i can think up too easy some schemes how to fuck shit up) that would be enough.

If you're going to do it, do it with a cheap refurbished netbook or something you don't mind losing. In addition to being virus-laden, it's trivial to turn a USB stick into a device that will fry a computer by fucking around with voltage.

I set up Wi-Fi dead drops around town. Except they are used for a specific purpose. If you're ever in Eugene Oregon check out the surrounding university shops.

THIS is the real problem of pokemon go. It's deluded everyone into thinking the only thing that is required in order to capture a 'mon is to chuck a capsule at it. Wrong. You have to first beat the every loving shit out of it, then launch the container.

If I can find any I'm going to fill it with gore

More malware written for windows that's why. You are infinitely less likely to get a virus if it can't even run

Do something to keep the head from getting rusted like use some string to tie a plastic cap you get with expensive USB devices to it

With the way floppy disks work you wouldn't even be able to insert it into your drive without tearing it down

There's a 60GB stick about 10 minutes by car from me. Should I try, /x/?

Duh. That's way better than my hour. Go for it and report back, anon.

The mural in Baton Rouge?

Looks like there are a handful of deaddrops within an hour's drive of me. Sounds like a fun winter project.

>>18017332
Can you expand upon this concept for someone who was interested in doing the same but didn't have the know how? This has given me an awesome idea for my novel but I'm not very tech savvy.

Awww snap, found yet another one, an hour in the opposite direction, incidentally near where I work. I could pop by there in the evenings, though rush-hour traffic ought to be a bitch.

/g/ fag here
don't touch them
just don't
they can really contain anything
literally anything
shit, if they are hooked up to a decent enough power supply they can simply brick your device.
There are probably devices that can be used to safely access these things but I haven't seen or heard of them so I dunno.
approach with severe caution and definitely don't use a device you are attached to.

/g/ fag#2 here. 'killer USB' is a thing. However, one should not live life in fear. I suggest using an old /expendable android phone that has USB Host mode capability, along with the necessary adapter. make sure the phone has a good file manager that supports USB OTG / host mode, then, if all goes well, copy all, and report back. Also keep an eye out for surveillance cams, and thugs, and other nefarious faggots.

also, scan the area for Bluetooth connections as some of us run pirate boxes that are only accessible via Bluetooth. Go for it, OP!
Will monitor this thread.

New to these. I knew there would be some in Austin.

That part is obviously complete bullshit, the work he did from that inspiration is however reasonably straightforward.

I like to leave killsticks here and there.
just a simple usb that kills your computer

I've got a couple old netbooks with serviceable batteries, and several nearby deaddrops. What should I upload to these things, besides occult books and tranny porn?

One time 2 years ago I found one of these in an alleyway in between my work building and the building beside it.
I searched online about these and became curious, so I hooked my laptop up to see what was on it.
All there was, was some shitty steven king e-book.
My work building is downtown in a very populated part of a fairly large city, and considering how curious i was i decided to watch and see if anyone else used it, or find out who uploaded the steven king book.

I waited a while a few times before and after my shift but i never saw anyone using it.
That day at work I took a massive shit on break and took a snapshot and sent it to a group chat with a bunch of my college buddies that I'm in.

On my way to the car after my shift I decided to peak in the alleyway one more time and when I did I saw one of my coworkers (who i was competing with for a lead position on an upcoming team project) was there using it.

He was a really nervous guy about 40 years old, quite short and had glasses. He was very quiet, but polite and composed. I always wondered how he had never moved up in the company despite being with them for 20 years.

Instantly, I got a great idea.
I spent the next month taking a picture of every shit I took and compiling them into a folder.
Each shit was more disgusting than the last.
The pictures grew increasingly vulgar the further I went. I constantly began anticipating my next shit.
I was so obsessed with the shit photography that eventually I was taking pictures of me handling the shit, playing with the shit, writing words on bathroom stalls with shit and even shitting in condoms.
Sometimes I would specifically ask my coworkers to eat at places such as Taco Bell for lunch just thinking about the shit I would have later on.

>>18025190

Fast forward to the end of the month and I decide that I have enough shit pictures. After my shift I go to the drop and there's another different steven king e-book with a word file that says something like "i hope you like this one as much as i do!".
I upload the folder and leave the same text file edited to say "no, I hope you like these as much as I do!"

2 days later, the same co-worker who was supposed to have a presentation is mysteriously not at work. While we sit around the table waiting for him I'm trying my hardest to contain my laughter. My boss even says something like "this is typical Steven!".

I go home still so pleased with myself, laughing as I sit in the bath.

For each day that my co-worker is missing, I get increasingly anxious. After a week I decide to visit his house.
His wife tells me that after finding some pictures on his laptop they got into a huge fight and he ran away from home.
She tells me that it's happened before and he's most likely staying at his mother's house again.
I realize that the photos his wife found were almost certainly the shit ones and I literally cannot stop laughing.

About a week later we find out that Steven's body was found hung from a tree, and that after the fight with his wife he had killed himself. Apparently he had a long-running struggle with depression and had been having trouble in his relationship for quite some time.

Anyways, I guess that's how I killed a man by uploading shit pictures to a dead drop. It wasn't all bad though. I got the lead position on that project by the way.

I'm headed out, bros and sis's, will report back in a few hours.

>>18025268
You must be doing something wrong. The search feature is kind of wonky, though. I just googled my deaddrops plus my city and that's how I found the second one on a list of U.S. ones.

>>18025268

Yes. You do it wrong.

....sheez, it was some guy from Berlin that startet it in fucking NYC ...

Just enter New York in the search field.

Sticking random USB sticks into your comp is like sticking random dicks into your bum.

You gonna get aids

I run a dead drop in a city in the west coast (for those that may know which one it is).

It's a wifi dead drop. Run a laekservice specific to city politics. If anyone is curious about setups Ill humor you with a setup.

Also,

Use a usb extension cord and splice in the middle, place zener diodes across the power line (or all the lines). You can break out the contacts so you test each individual line in the USB bus for over voltages.

Alright, I've returned. Not much booty to be collected, but... it worked! The connector was rusted as shit, but worked fine. Wasn't a really comfortable place to stand/squat with a big laptop and do this shit, and it was right in view of a store where there were a bunch of people in and out.

All I found was some shitty music, a movie script, some "how to avoid the FBI" tinfoil shit, some videos on brain studies, and some random pictures of some hippy dude (pic related). I think there was more, but I was not wanting to make too much of a spectacle out of myself.

I left a funny picture and some literature, and signed the log (last entry was four years ago, even though on deaddrops.com, this drop was reported as working as of this month, so someone's been there).

Clone the entire usb to a disk image bit for bit, later you can clone the image onto another device. Then use some tool to recover files that were deleted.
