USB security, malware
- faaking worried about usb fbi
- usb is such that, no way to prevent shit
- unless, u spend years study data security, and u need to buy a usb firewall hardware
- u can't buy on amazon. u be faaked.
- u need to know special channels for these things
- the significance is that, used to be in 90s, if u r coder, generalist, u know what to do to prevent hack. not today.
- am actually thinking, usb at some point is designed this way, by meddling of deepstate.
- Why are you worried about fbi?
- not specifically. but everything about comp am careful, since 90s
- but basically the situation is that, sometimes a friend pass u a file, via usb. what u gonna do? do u plug it in or not.
- the friend may be someone u trust, but they dunno anything about comp.
- that's the most common scenario.
