So, is there any way to crack a password or hack it if USB Drive (aka thumb drive) is password protected? I heard that it’s nearly impossible?

I’ve been playing with autoruns and flash drives since before U3 drives were even available. I still have some of the original UD-RW drives from Hagiwara lying around. (Test models, 1GB each with a resizable U3-like partition.) I’ve used them for years to show why physical security is just as important as network security.

A few months ago I saw an article re: installing software that would automatically and transparently copy data from thumb drives inserted in a PC. Reverse thumb sucking, I believe is what the author called it, but I can’t find the article. All I get is links to articles about the movie, Thumbsucker.
All my clients ask that I disable the USB ports for flash drive use, while a couple of others want to know what data employees are copying/stealing to their flash drives from the company network.

Can anyone recommend a program that will accomplish this?

Thanks!

I’ve got an idea. There is possibility to change file “version.dat” for a version that never existed ]-) This might cause uninstaller (from website) stop working. I saw a post that someone had an older version of launchpad and newer uninstaller from website. But I don’t know if the uninstaller on pendrive would stop working too. If so, it would be impossible to uninstall launchpad even if it was neccesery. Only sandisk could do it.

Now it’s possible to hack launchpad. It has an option to erase whole partition when you forgot the password. I think it’s too simple , since with one click anyone that access sandisk pendrive can delete all protected data. Of course it would be necessary to block somehow launchpad unistaller from sandisk site, that would do the same. Any ideas?

U3 programs are of NO INTERST to most of the profesionals. Interesting part is in construction of a USB drive that lets you AUTORUN (any application) without any prompt (upon insertion into a computer).
I NEED “non-removable” usb drive to play with!!! :[

Dudes, U3 sucks balls.
Installers are for babys, just do it yourself.
I've got a 1GB USB with PStart installed and check out the programs I have on it:
Powerpoit Viewer; Firefox Portable;O pera 9 USB; Gaim Portable; Miranda IM; VLC Media Player; Process Explorer; DTask Manager; Portable Wackget; 7-Zip; VisualBoyAdvance; Sudoku Portable; The GIMP; Thunderbird; TweakUI; Xpy; Network Stumbler; ClamWin Portable; RegCleaner; Nokia Wireless Presenter, and I just don't have the whole OpenOffice Suite because of the space it uses.

If you only use portable apps in PCs where you have Admin rigths, you can also check out MojoPac, which allows you to carry ANY program on your pocket. ANY.
Yes, It can handle stuff like M$Office, Counter-Strike Source (and Half-life 2, of course), Photoshop, etc, etc... whatever you may think of.
It's here: http://www.mojopac.com
Bad thing I don't know of any free or "freed" version.

Hello all, maybe you can help me out. I’m trying to autoplay a software on my usb key. I configure the autorun.inf to start automaticaly with the program, but not the damn window that ask you what to do (media player, no action, and blablabla). Is that possible? i don’t have a u3, it’s a basic usb key. I read alot on that but, it doesn’t seems to work. Is there a solution? How can i partition my usb key like a cd?

thanks, chris

@ #29 (dude)
Yes , I know how,if you go to the http://www.911cd.net forum and search
you will find some VERY usefull tips
and links to tools that might let you do it,
but it all depends on what controler-chip your drive uses.
