Safe USB Key

Protecting from USB Key

USB key or flash drive are devices used in many contest to easily bring data across computers.

Over the last years, flash drives are targeted by bad hackers as another way to spread virus or directly attack computers.

This project try to place a device between the computer and the USB key in order to filter and protect the computer from potential attacks.

I'm actually using a Raspberry PI Zero W.

The debian package is HERE: https://github.com/crazycoder1999/RaspberryPiProjects

Installation

• install a fresh raspbian (I used latest raspbian jessie) on pi zero w and configure wifi: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install hostapd dnsmasq nodejs
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite safeusbkey.deb 
rm /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

• sudo halt and unplug the pizero w

• plug the pendrive to pizero w

• power on the pizero w

• connect to wifi SafeUsbKey with password raspberry

• open the browser to: http://192.168.0.1:8000/browse

• Enjoy!
