Removable media: We all have them, maybe a few of them in different sizes. They’re invaluable for various administration tasks. Trying to get network drivers onto that new machine you’re re-installing? How about bringing one with you when you have to patch a few machines that aren’t on the domain? Or loading Knoppix LiveCD onto one for resetting administrator passwords? We love flash drives, but we also know they can be perfect vectors for malicious users. As with many types of technology, as their popularity increases the more lucrative it becomes to write virus code that targets them.
