A student of mine was researching "vendor malware" [0] she decided to
order as many random, dodgy USB devices as could be found on the
internet to see what percentage of them were loaded with horrors.
We settled on a CRU Wiebetech write blocker and a minimal sandboxed
distro (that could reboot to a clean slate in a couple of seconds)
with little more than a kernel for which we could activate and
deactivate USB modules.
Conclusions:
USB is terrifying! :)
Buying USB things in the internet is even more scary!!
