https://media.blackhat.com/bh-eu-12/Polstra/bh-eu-12-Polstra-Preventing_Oh_Shit-WP.pdf https://media.blackhat.com/bh-eu-12/Polstra/bh-eu-12-Polstra-Preventing_Oh_Shit-Slides.pdf This presentation will discuss the use of microcontrollers in computer security and forensics. In particular, several small USB flash drive forensic devices will be demonstrated, including forensic duplicators and an inexpensive write blocker. All devices to be shown can be built for under US.

A USB write blocker can prevent Oh shit! moment when you plug your flash drive full of your favorite security tools into a machine and watch as the machine's antivirus starts deleting your stuff. The write blocker is also useful for ensuring that a subject drive is not altered while evaluating whether or not there is anything interesting enough to create a forensic image.

The smallest USB duplicator fits inside an Altoids gum tin. It is portable enough to always have with you. A PC is not required to make forensic copies with this device.
