yeah,i read about this attack somewhere. On 2/25/07, Liam Downward <ldownward () pervasivesolutions net> wrote:
A possible addition for Social Engineering is to gain entrance to a network via "Human curiosity" with the use of USB thumb drives that can be of any size (64mb, 512mb etc), that can be strategically dropped in employee area's like, kitchens, parking lots, and or doctor lounges etc... The USB thumb drive contains a simple application that is hidden and it can capture simple information of the network or you can have the application install a keylogger to capture usernames/passwords etc... to show the company in question how simple it is to gather information about the network for an attack or to turn machines into bots The application is initiated when an employee has found a USB thumb drive and their curiosity gets the better of them. Then they plug the USB thumb drive into their workstation or laptop to see what is on the USB thumb drive. This is when the hidden application on the USB thumb drive is executed via two methods: 1. If the machine in which the USB thumb drive is plugged into has AutoRun enabled the app will execute. 2. If AutoRun is not enabled then there is shortcuts on the USB thumb drive to entice the employee to click, which will execute the hidden application. Below are some examples of embedded shortcuts: Resume.doc Company Payscale.xls Johnny Cash (I Walk the Line).mp3 The application will encrypt the information captured and email to the testers for review, then the application along with the embedded shortcuts will delete themselves from the USB thumb drive.
