moonlit Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Here's a (very) basic Switchblade prevention concept. It's extremely crude and unbelivably simple but... http://www.freewebs.com/5kah/SB_Prevent.rar Visual Basic 6 Source and compiled .exe to demonstrate simple file locking in the root dir of any drive. This could be expanded to subdirectories too and could be customised to only function if the drive is removable and/or a serial number is white/blacklisted. It could also work on any form of executable file (.exe, .com, .scr, .pif, .bat, .cmd, .bat, etc). Use with caution, it's probably rather buggy, I've tested it a little but during testing I zero'd out a couple of exe files... this is now fixed and as far as I know it's ok but you know how these things go... :) How to use: Run the program, point to the drive containing the executable(s) to prevent running and click lock. Try running the exe file, Windows should stop you from doing so. Click Unlock and quit the program to unlock. Again, it ONLY works on files in the root dir atm so files in directories WILL NOT BE LOCKED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlit Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 heheh I figured however basic my programming is, it beats rendering your USB ports useless ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a5an0 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I would say either disable autorun or hold shift whenever u plug in ANYTHING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevronX Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I agree with this, sort of like a Windows hotfix exe. WHich patches the system while not interfering with any updates or applications that may be installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoyBoy Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 That shift idea would actually work i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xFilthyxJesusx Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Why not just use XPY http://xpy.whyeye.org/ Ive had autorun disabled forever. ANd shift works. It disables autorun for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leetabix Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I rather think that the key to preventing this has been found really. The sole concept relies on the ability of the USB switchblade to be auto-run, else no-one's playing ball. So a simple utility to turn off auto-play will work wonders, and be very simple in concept. However, as the above has pretty much been stated already, I'm wondering if there's a counter-counter measure to this? If it can't be auto-run is there some other way of operation? For example, forcing the system to auto-play? I am interested myself as I'm not very knowledgeable on this front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Social Enginereing and Amish's method work wonders. "Hey, my pictures are still on my camera card, mind if I use your computer to look at them?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
