SELinux Branded USB Thumb Drives

SELinux Branded USB Thumb Drives

[David Quigley]

I've been thinking of putting in a bulk order for either 8GB or 16GB 
USB thumb drives with special SELinux branding on them. Who would be 
interested in participating in the bulk order? We would have to decide 
on a design first and then once that was done and I felt I had enough 
people on board I could order about 100 of them (which seems to be the 
minimum for some places). Nothing is definite yet as I'm just shopping 
around the idea.

We would probably go for it.

Is that really a good idea? Given the frequency that thumb drives turn
up as infection vectors it seems like you're asking for trouble.

I intend on getting ones with physical write protection if I can. 
However I don't see it as being any different from the ones you get from 
the one of a million AV/Anti-malware companies out there either. I 
intend on using them for when I give a talk or teach a class and intend 
on collecting them at the end.

And maybe if you install a live Linux distro with SELinux enabled on them
before you hand them out, you just might get them back uninfected. ;-)
