Thumbscrew: Software USB Write Blocker

Thumbscrew is an attempt at a poor man's USB write blocker. When used it allows you to quickly enable or disable writing to all USB mass storage devices on your Windows system. In other words, you can use it to make a USB flash drive, hard drive or IDE / SATA drive in an enclosure read only. However, there is no guarantees as to its forensic validity. Still, if you want to play around with making forensic images of thumb drives and other USB mass storage devices it may come in handy. You will see one of two icons in your system tray to indicate whether or not USB mass storage devices are set to be read only:

USB Write Enabled
USB Write Disabled
Simply click on the icon and choose the menu item to toggle write access. All Thumbscrew really does is flip a bit in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies\WriteProtect

Thumbscrew has a few limitations:

1. No guarantee it's 100% forensically sound. Buy a proven USB hardware write blocker if you want to be sure.

2. USB mass storage devices that are already mounted as writeable will stay writeable until they are removed and reinserted. The same applies if you turn off read only protection while a USB mass storage device is active, it will become writable and stay that way until removed and reinserted.

Hope someone finds this program useful.

Cyber Threat Cases Up 87 Pct In 10 Months, Says Fadillah

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 (Bernama) -- An 87 per cent increase in cyber threat cases were reported through the Cyber99 Assistance Centre between January and October as compared to the same period last year.

The statistics were recorded by the MyCert Department of CyberSecurity Malaysia while the number of cases handled by the Digital Forensics Department rose by 17 per cent to 304 cases from 260 in the same period.

Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Fadillah Yusof, in disclosing the figures when closing a two-day training on cyber crisis in Seri Kembangan, said efforts to step up cyber safety must be given serious attention by the parties concerned n the wake of rising cyber threat incidents.

He said cyber safety experts had forewarned on the trend to wage cyber attacks on critical infrastructures by organised crime groups, terrorists and secret agents for money, strategic and political interests as the ulterior motive.

"Such threats are very worrying as in the event of a cyber attack on the country's critical information infrastructures, it will have a serious implication on the country's security," he added.

Ancaman Siber Yang Dilapor Meningkat 87 Peratus Dalam 10 Bulan

KUALA LUMPUR, 10 Dis (Bernama) -- Insiden kes ancaman siber yang dilaporkan kepada Pusat Bantuan Siber99 meningkat 87 peratus dalam tempoh 10 bulan pertama tahun ini berbanding tempoh yang sama tahun lepas.

Perangkaan itu dikumpul oleh Jabatan MyCert, CyberSecurity Malaysia. Jumlah kes yang dikendalikan oleh Jabatan Forensik Digital, turut meningkat 17 peratus kepada 304 kes berbanding 260 dalam tempoh yang sama tahun lepas.

Perangkaan itu diumumkan oleh Timbalan Menteri Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi, Fadillah Yusof dalam ucapan penutupan program Latih Amal Krisis Siber X Maya 2 selama dua hari mulai semalam di Seri Kembangan di sini.

"Oleh itu, usaha bagi mempertingkat keselamatan siber haruslah diberi perhatian serius oleh semua pihak," katanya.

Fadillah berkata pakar keselamatan siber turut memberi amaran mengenai wujudnya arah aliran serangan siber ke atas infrastruktur kritikal oleh kumpulan jenayah terancang, kumpulan pengganas dan ejen musuh yang bermotifkan wang, politik dan kepentingan strategik.

"Senario ancaman begini membimbangkan kerana sekiranya ancaman siber ini berlaku dalam sektor prasarana maklumat kritikal negara, ia akan mendatangkan implikasi buruk terhadap keselamatan negara," katanya.
