On: Isostick: the USB memory stick that thinks it’s an optical drive

[hahainternet]

The Sandisk U3 series of drives can already do this but in a slightly less integrated fashion.

This was also a nice attack vector on Windows machines as you could insert a usb stick with attack code on the CD partition, which then wrote its output to the flash partition.

I have two of those sticks. Do you know if you can expand the partition to arbitrary sizes?

You can, but it was a huge pain in the ass the last time I tried. It looks like things have moved on since then: http://u3-tool.sourceforge.net/

Fantastic, thank you.
