NegativeSpace Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 In one of the fairly recent episodes of Hak5, Darren did a brief 'segment' about password protecting USB flash drives. The tool was very simple, and it's only function was to prompt for credentials upon connection of a USB drive. I would like to get this tool, but I can't remember the name of it, or which episode it was. Sorry if this has already been brought up. If it has, I wasn't able to find it using forum search. If someone could just remind me of the episode number I would be happy to look it up myself. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOSys Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 "cryptsetup" is a linux ENCRYPTION tool, probably not what you are after . Your flash-drive most likely has password-protection built in, in the form of the ATA-security functions . The trick is finding the software to set/enter the password . For USBest controllers (Ut163,165 etc) it's called "UFDUtility.exe", the manual is here : http://www.ao-lab.com/download/manual/UFD%...r-Manual_EN.pdf and the program is here : http://www.mediafire.com/?mnydz3gnwzu The tool is made for the controller, each chip-vendor has their own (or should have ) So, you will need to identify your UFD's controller-chip and then use google to find the tool . (or have a look at flashboot.ru, they have a few login-tools in the collection . Some login-tools are provided with the controllers Mass Production Tool ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
