USB Dead Drops

[radtechtips]

Not.
There are a ton of "legal" key loggers that don't trigger as malware/virus.
All you have to do is use one on the "approved" list, and it will allow it.

Ya. I think i would be cool to have a rasberry pi with a 3g dongle and see what people do with it.

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

I voted no because I generally try not to do anything that could possibly infect my computer.

 

[Rakehellion]

It's like sticking your dick in a glory hole. No thanks.

 

[irishScott]

It's a fun idea, but I don't see many people participating, so it'll probably suck.

 

[ViviTheMage]

no, it looks dirty

 

[Dankk]

Awful idea.

 

[radtechtips]

Awful idea.

Worse than drawing people?

 

[JimS]

Nobody's mentioned Silent Tristero's Empire yet?

 

[Wyndru]

So, you're supposed to walk up and jam a laptop into the wall? Or do they think people randomly carry female USB cables around?

Haha, That was my first thought as well! I can just picture people breaking the USB or their laptop trying this.

 

[Fingolfin269]

This seems about as cool as taking a picture with your ipad.

 

[Chaotic42]

Put an installer for Debian or some other open system on there. Spread the good word.

 

[SlitheryDee]

It would be more fun to go to all the locations and dig them out of the wall.

The concept is really cool but people would just vandalize it. Better off making public wifi networks that have an FTP server or something. Could have a universally recognized name for the SSID or something.

That's actually a pretty good idea but hard and expensive to start.

People would think their computer was broken. Lol

LOL I can see it too. Debian start screen showing up. "What happen to the Windows program? My computer is broken!" :biggrin:

 

[IronWing]

USB Electric Chair is a great name for an album.

 

[TridenT]

Exactly. It's like the "Glory Hole" of tech.

Perfect analogy. Seriously.

Also, I would definitely hook that shit up to an electrical socket that feeds 1000W on the 5V rail or just fucking put an breaker right before it and reset it whenever I want.

What I do is picture it happening to the best buy geek squad

"Sir, you need a new computer. Wait here and I will go get our PC sales associate." :biggrin:

Though this totally did give me an idea though, could do it with a wireless network like I said, but in a self contained device. Basically a cheap wifi router with a raspberry PI. The data is then stored on either the PI itself or an external USB. The whole thing could be packaged into a small neat case with battery backup and probably be able to be made for under $100. People could put them in their homes and stuff. The software on it could also mesh with any nearby ones that are in range and create a bigger mesh/cloud network.

Yeah that is kinda more complicated than a USB stick shoved in concrete though. :biggrin:

I totally want to do this now.

The pirate box sort of does this. You actually don't need a router if you get a usb dongle with access point mode.

Side note: At work, we have a computer support person who is a bit of a ditz. I noticed that someone had thrown out a presumably busted electric stapler. My thought is to attach a USB cable to it and then ask our computer support individual if I could get the driver for the stapler loaded on my machine.

That would be great I might have to try it.

You would? Have you ever asked yourself what kind of person would do such a thing?

I would have it on a relay that I could control remotely then wait for the overpriveleged with a macbook and then use it

Super dumb idea. Seems like a good way to break the USB, or the USB port on your laptop. Laptops are heavy and awkward to hold with one hand. And then to try to fidget with transferring files? Good chance to of dropping the laptop.

Why is he going around defacing public property?

That one scene in the subway station where he puts the USB into some gray clay material...yeah, people won't think it's some kind of explosive device, especially when after stuffing that thing under a pay phone, you go and hook up your laptop and stand there in an awkward position.
