Use a virtual machine to safely sort that shit out
flash usb and encrypt it.
Disconnect from the network?
Run it in a VM?
How do you run a VM in windows 10
Stop working with criminals until you're competent, duh.
this so hard
yeah nice one dipshits, the usb stil has to be mounted to be passed through.
use a live cd or live usb, boot into that, then mount the usb.
Open it on linux
Get another USB, use it as a Ubuntu live USB, copy only ur files (if ur files are executables, you are likely fucked anyway)
Also, VM will not protect you from BadUSB.
I know right... fucking cops and their warrants
I had no idea you could do that. I thought it was only for linux
yeah they are huge asshole like that
You are stupid
Nothing wrong with that when I have people like you to do the thinking.
download ubuntu boot cd. boot ubuntu, plug your flash drive copy.
silly user, WM and VM isn't same thing
btw, most of USB viruses (autorun) can easily deleted from linux, you can dual boot your netbook for critical times like this
What everyone else has ready said about a liveCD but make sure you unplug your drives first
Mount it in TempleOS and have God destroy the malware.
download usb drive, plug live cd, copy malware and unplug your data
3D print a clone of the flash drive. Give it to ur friend. When he finds out it's not working, he will give it back to you. Then, after some time, you will return the actual drive to him saying that you were able to fix it and recover all the data except what you had copied. And that you also didn't retain that data on your own PC. As in, it's gone. AND you didn't run his malware-infected flash drive.

>Spend $5 on a disconnected rpi zero that you trash afterwards
Fuck this is why I hate buying chink USBs. They work but I'm always worried about malware and viruses.
I know that feel. Too tech illiterate to avoid it too.
>tech illiterate
>in my Sup Forums
Fucking neo-Sup Forums
Just use it, fuck the network.
Run it through REMnux
This.
1. Buy a raspberry pi zero and a 3.3v usb/ttl adapter
2. Transfer the data on the pi
3. Connect to the pi through the adapter
4. Connect the unknown usb device
5. Copy your files
6. Disconnect the usb device
7. Depending on how paranoid you are, either destroy the micro sd card from the pi, or the whole pi
I don't understand your problem user. Are you retarded? Maybe you shouldn't use a computer.
Jam it up your ass. Won't help but you should do it because you're a fucking moron.
>yeah nice one dipshits, the usb stil has to be mounted to be passed through.
it actually does not unless you're using a shitty os
Copy the files to your phone via OTG.
You mean unless you use a dedicated hypervisor
You all don't know jack shit about computer security.
Implying usb hard drive are a security threat.
inb4: continue arguing with me and you'll learn something
Put stuff on the USB drive and then don't put it in any networked computer
They are, a hard drive can act as an ethernet adapter or any other usb device at the same time.
it's a fucking USB drive with malware. You don't need some secret knowledge to reformat it.
The live CD/USB method should be safe enough anyways.
And? With a good firewall you're protected against ethernet adapter. WHat kind of device can harm a computer. I wanna laugh.
Are you even following the news?

This is just a tip of the iceberg.
This this and this wtf just do this already
Please, you're ridiculous.
From your link
>most computers trust their local network for some reason
It's a joke. No competent admin do that.
>don't know what badUSB is
>claim to be knowledable in computer security
Cannot fabricatr

Yes, set there and laugh, dear god Sup Forums is full of wannabe hackers.
So you're unable to provide valid example of how it is dangerous.
>youtube.com
A video. No provide text, video are for dummies, always.
>computerworld.com
Not a IT security problem.
don't be a nigger, only way to be sure is to use linux to open it.
Easiest way to know how you could be infected is to know what is the OS the owner of the drive is using. Most likely Windows.
>"WHat kind of device can harm a computer. I wanna laugh."
Also, theirs other bits of memory and whatnot often on these things compleetly seprate from the main memory module, although it might mostly be in SD cards and Hard-drives.
Mind you ,I'm not claiming to be a hacker either, just all these people spouting off all self important while knowing very little is cringe.
>thinking that a flash drive that can present itself as any kind of usb device isn't perfect for malicious stuff
>still claim to be knowledable in computer security
The usb controller on the flash drive can present itself as a hid device as an example.
OP, what the fuck is on the flash drive? Who is delivering it to you and for what purpose?
>The usb controller on the flash drive can present itself as a hid device as an example.
Please develop. What it can be a keyboard or a mouse? It's far less dangerous than the browser you're using to browse the web.
Still waiting for a valid example. Not for shitty beware. I want concrete case.
interesting but
>not tested on linux
the live system shouldn't really have any usefull data, and wouldn't reformating the drive erase the OS and prevent credential transfer?
Is there something i'm not getting here?
>USB killer
I'm asuming OP is getting a legit USB drive with malware on it because
>Need to use THIS flash drive
I don't know about firmware level shit though
>b-but it doesn't count
Have you ever heard of something called a "HID payload"? This can easily be used to execute commands.
I know, I was just responding to the guy that made that quote mostly, I'm guessing that theirs no reason for them to send him something much more expensive just to fuck with him; moreover, it probably needs to be rather bulky for the battery.
>This can easily be used to execute commands.
And? Like I say it's as dangerous as the browser.
Install Gentoo
>using a browser is the same as giving someone who can type lightning fast(literally) and wants to fuck up your computer keyboard access
Are you retarded?
