Lightning talk – PoC – Matthias Deeg

Demo is performed using a SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise (FIPS Edition), however is possible on other devices.

USB FDU – (USB Flash Drive Unlocker)

The demo PoC tool was able to unlock the device (make it so that any arbitrary password works) within a few seconds. A number of vendors have already patched this issue and provided updates for their devices (see Links below).

Currently the PoC isn’t publicly available.
