Ghost USB Honeypot
Ghost USB Honeypot is a specialized security tool designed to detect malware that spreads through USB storage devices. The tool operates by emulating a USB storage device, creating a deceptive environment that tricks malware into attempting to infect the simulated device. The honeypot functions without requiring additional information or signatures, making it capable of detecting previously unknown USB-based malware threats. When malware attempts to spread to what it perceives as a legitimate USB device, Ghost captures and analyzes this behavior to identify the infection attempt. The tool is particularly useful for organizations concerned about malware propagation through removable storage media. It provides an early warning system for USB-based threats by creating an attractive target for malware while maintaining the security of actual systems and data. Ghost USB Honeypot includes comprehensive documentation through its wiki, providing detailed setup and operational instructions. The project receives support from Rapid7's Magnificent7 program, indicating industry backing for its development and maintenance.
