This is such a cool idea! ...But for every nice guy who'd act in the spirit of this project, there would be 10 jerks who'd put viruses on the drive. And really, what protection is there for that?

[AJMansfield]

As long as you have it set to explicitly NOT EXECUTE any sort of autorun program when you mount the drive, and you explicitely set all files you transfer to be NON-EXECUTABLE, and you don't open them with any sort of fancy anything, you will be perfectly safe.

common sense is very good antivirus protection

[hintss]

agree.

Linux? OSX? BSD? OpenBox? VMWare? Backups? Decent AV software?

And really, what protection is there for that?

Condoms really don't protect from STD's, just getting her knocked up.

AV won`t stop it.

Its trivially easy to highjack one of these drops, since anyone can read and write the drive, is there a way to secure it, make sections read only? separate, encrypted partitions maybe?

Suweet idea and implementation. For how to hide things in public, "How to Hide Things in Public Places." Also, for mapping, I'd like to add them to, "Open Street Maps."

I love it how it says 'Size: in kilobytes', and you've gone and put in '4gb' :D
