It's pretty worn. At first I thought it was just a regular memory stick (hoping for a packed btc wallet heh). As I said it shows heavy usage. Who could be in need of using this device that much? Could the device itself be wiped or altered to store other stuff?I haven't dared myself to plug it in yet. Don't have a sacrificable pooter. But I'm really curious both of who dropped it and what could be on it.What should I do with it?
>>109437954Give it back Jamal.
>>109437954>What should I do with it?Dump it and send the files. I want to see what is there.
>>109437954whats the point of this vs just a dd command
>>109437980Me too! But what is the safest way to peek?Put my precious ubuntu computer offline and boot a live OS? I'm a very lazy drunk degenerate and might fuck up :(
>>109438042>Put my precious ubuntu computer offline and boot a live OS?Hell no. Afaik it just acts like a bootable USB. You can connect it and mount its partitions, then send it here.>>109438029>he doesn't know
>>109437954Plug in the device and return it to the previous owner as any civilized person would.
>>109438029I guess it's simpler/easier/safer than dd. Upon googling you read fear mongering "A SINGLE TYPING ERROR IN DD COULD MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR FAMILY PHOTOS!!!!!"
>>109438064google says it just wipes drives>complies with NIST 800-88 data destruction standards having worked with computers in the army/defense companies my guess is its meant to bea retard-proof way to wipe because retarded ass soldiers would wipe the wrong drive by mistake and throw into the trash computers with classified data (which is thankfully mostly encrypted automatically these days but ive seen fuckups walk around with unencrypted classified drives)
>>109438095Perhaps. Most likely what you just said. Their "custom os" is just bare linux.
>>109438068Can I find the owner if I plug it in? Are they registered? Otherwise the previous owner is the street
>>109438106anything with a NIST/MIL-STD certification is the equivalent of something in the civilian market but adapted to be used by retards if you know how to tell which of your drives is which on lsblk and how to write zeroes/random to them you dont need this stick
Asking again: could this device be wiped itself, and/or altered with, to store other stuff on it? That's my main concern before plugging it in. I don't want mossad in my home
>>109438157It looks like it's been plugged in hundreds of times. The tear and wear is worse than any usb stick or phone charger I've seen
Ok I plugged it in. It contained only the wiping software that I could see. Also had all the reports of former wipes, but not much to see other than dates, ranging from May 2024 until most recent Feb. 2026, and the SN of all the drives.No juicy stuff or bitcoin wallets :/Guess I saved a couple dollars on a wiping device if ever in need of one
>buying shit like thisJust fucking get dban. It's free.
