Only real defense for billions of devices is physically capping ports.

Last year we wrote about the "USB Killer"—a DIY USB stick that fried almost everything (laptops, smartphones, consoles, cars) that it was plugged into. Now the USB Killer has been mass produced—you can buy it online for about £50/$50. Now everyone can destroy just about every computer that has a USB port. Hooray.
获得欧盟电气安全认证的USB Killer已经开始商业量产了。而去年报道的时候还只是试验品。这个手工定制的USB盘几乎可以破坏所有的当下电子设备:电脑、智能手机、游戏控制台以及智能汽车等等。量产后的价格是50美元一个。

Neither of those solutions help protect the hundreds of millions—perhaps billions—of devices in the world with unprotected USB ports, though. Cars,
airplanes, routers, machines that control industrial centrifuges... in those cases, the only real defence is physically capping ports or educating people to
never insert unknown hardware.
采用诸如USB认证的方式并不能完全保护当前已经在使用的上亿设备:要知道USB设备是当前应用最为广泛的端口(广泛应用在汽车、飞机、工业控制计算机等),对其的防护力度显然不够。比较可行的办法是封住这些设备的USB端口不让用户使用,或者教育使用者严格禁止使用外来的U盘。
点评:封住到是安全了,但是恶意代码是会长“脚”的。 |
