If James Bond carried a USB drive, this would probably be it. Outside your being a secret agent, this might be a little over kill.

If you want some serious protection for your USB key, this thing is worth a look. The price is a little steep but I guess you are paying for all the tech that went into it.

Lock out your USB ports

My main reason for posting this is to give system admins a way of keeping USB drives from being used on their lab/public stations. Seems that USB drives are becoming more and more prevalent and I have seen users unknowingly infect a system by plugging their flash drive into the computer.

Obviously, if you would like to keep people from using the USB ports on your computer to prevent them from doing this to your machine or copying data from your hard drive, well, that works too!

I have tried to convert everyone I know over to this little gem. If you have ever forgotten one of your passwords, then this app should be an easy sell. It’s one of the best apps I have ever found and it’s open source. If you need a password manager, try it. You’ll like it.
