A script for secure login with thumbwheel drive
Authored by: mproud on Sep 29, '04 09:49:20PM

I'm assuming one would want to expand on this and analyze contents... maybe even encrypted files as people have suggested. Otherwise, I could just be able to name my drive whateverthehell the script is looking for, and WOW! Instant access!

But a novel idea, nonetheless.

But you know what else would suck? Losing the drive. OUCH.

Or accidentally changing its name!

(unless you have a 2nd computer nearby to change it back)

A script for secure login with thumbwheel drive
Authored by: ibroughton on Sep 30, '04 03:00:02AM

Y'know, some people take security seriously, others would see this idea as a toy to play with.

The original script is merely a toy to play with as any system with a removable drive called 'X' will allow it to log in. Nice, and fun to have but it doesn't offer any real security.

I have 3 USB Key drives, what I would like to see is something that allows me to secure my system without having to buy another drive!
