Get Around Usb Flash Drive Write Restrictions at Your Company

Some companies prevent you from writing and/or reading your usb flash drive administratively through a registry setting. I will describe a way to get around this WITHOUT hacking anything and by leaving absolutely no trace. This is only for cases where the usb functions are disabled through software, not by hardware



Step 1

create a Live CD, which is a bootable CD with an OS on it. The simplest is to download "Damn Small Linux" or DSL, from http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html
you will want a file that looks something like dsl-4.4.10.iso, but the version might be different. Burn the ISO image onto a CD using the burn image function.
Step 2

If you are paranoid, disconnect the network cable.
Step 3

Reboot your computer and make it boot from the CD. You may have to modify your BIOS settings for this.
Step 4

Once the live cd is booted, plug your usb flash drive in and mount it. With some computers it may show up as drive sda instead of usb.
Step 5

you now have read/write access to your usb flash drive and your company's none the wiser. copy files to/from your hardrive. When done, take out the CD and reboot the computer to your corporate OS. Don't forget to plug the network cable back in.

    Promo USB drives have seen to be pretty successful in the last few years in promoting and advertising your business, institution or organisation. Above all the prices now of these memory sticks are really low and are one of the most cost-effective forms of branding and promotional items to advertise your brand to clients and customers alike.
