USB Autorun Hijack

Recommended Posts

I was quickly flipping through the latest issue of 2600 (https://www.2600.com/) when I came upon a very interesting article entitled “iPod Sneakiness.” It basically explained how one could trick a computer user into coughing up some valuable information just by attaching their iPod to that computer. We have all see the autorun message when you plug a USB storage device into your computer. The author simply wrote his own autorun program that captures passwords and other goodies on the victim’s machine. I have to admit that I never thought of this and it is quite ingenious. Any thoughts on this one?
