USB Drive Security

[Guest]

A member asked me this question via PM, but it's worth sharing with everyone.

The question was about free software to encrypt USB drives with sensitive data on them.

The answer may benefit others here:

The Sandisk Cruzer drives, and some others, come with such software.

One of the more robust protected drives out there these days is made by kanguru. They provide hardware level encryption, which is much more secure.

For encryption on drives you already own, first check the drive manufacturer's website.
If they don't offer anything, try here.

I also like to put this on my USB to help with the autorun virus for sticks that I don't need security on.
Make a notepad type in the below info and label it "r_autorun.inf"

attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf
del autorun.inf
mkdir autorun.inf
attrib +s +h +r
autorun.inf
