so.. basically... this is completely useless for 'carrying your data around' since the usb-stick can only be unlocked on the pc where the kingston 'software' has been installed.... which is of course the windows pc at home... and NOT the pc/mac/linux computer/notebook/tablet/phone/car radio (or whatever device with a usb input) at school or at work or at a friends house/ in the car or where ever you need to access your information.
hint: usb stick with truecrypt. same protection, less $
Store Audiosurf so I can play it almost anywhere I go. Which includes music to go along with it. Also store Minecraft, cause any game with craft after it never fails to impress.
Obviously the best use is to hijack the CEO of KFC, obtain the recepie of secret herbs & spices and then store it forever..fried goodness at home yes! Mwahahaha... Of course, using it as a backup for artwork and other bits of data is fine, too. :P
I would try to mount it on a brick wall, in a publicly accessible place, to create a sneaker-dark-net. Share the password with only people you trust. like:
google "gizmodo theres-a-usb-stick-in-my-brick-wall" for the story.
Since porn has already mentioned.. more than once even ^^. My second guess would be for work/ homework(So I can forget my password and have a good excuse obvioulsy).
I would let it on my desktop so that everybody can see it and then i would install a small camera to be able to see everybody fail at trying to access my data!!!!
Live usbs of a Linux rescue cd, Backtrack 4, and the latest Ubuntu Linux. And several password lists and wpa hash files. It's a computer repair kit on the go!
I would use this flash drive to store my live's photos, also i could encript them so i even if i lose it,i wont have to worry about it. amazing drive.
I would use it for our schools yearbook. We try to keep everything hidden until we finally release them. I am Jr.editor so if we don't win I may buy some for the school.
I would use it to store decrypting software so i can decrypt other drives like this!!!! And also i'd use my quad gtx 480's to make the decrypting process take about 2 seconds :)
It's obvious ." You want to see porn out of your PC ... u thinking what i am gonna do what i am gonna do AHA!!! i got that DataTraveler lets fill it up with videos and put a password so my mom or brother don't see it GENIUS " :D
I would store all Linus' videos that Esther participates. So that, when you get your own tech talk show at some national tv in a near future, i will always remember the good old days of humble Linus and his beautiful friend.
It's quite obvious that people who buy a password protected usb thumb drive, plans to protect certain information from being accessed by other people. Now, wether it's a secret file of some sort or simply important files that should not be distributed or tampered with, depends on the user in question.
Being an engineer, I'm applying for jobs involving construction which often entails me to carry around secret blueprints on and off to work. A usb of this kind would help me protect such data.
i would store my families important paper work on it. i.e birth certificates SS# cards death certificates in case of a fire or natural disaster i can get out with just my keychain (which would have it on it) instead of a file box if the shit hits the fan
Can you use this for BIOS updates regardless of the password? Because if so, that is my main purpose, is to be able to flash the BIOS with USB. As well as put cool movies and music and photos, and games and go to friends houses and save the download time. Also, since it is passworded, I will store important documentation that would have confidential information.
I would use it to encrypt some useless data, travel to the U.S. and get arrested for not divulging the password to them just so I could tell the world about it on my blog.
Linus PLEASE stop making the video unlisted when you first upload it. This video is from four days ago but its only just come up in out subscription box recently
i would put private things on it like Photos of my family or my LAN Cracks for Lanparties. I don´t want other people to know that^^. But now you know.
The obvious use for an encrypted usb drive would be to store important files right, but as I don't have any important files I'd probably use it as a "school stuff" drive and/or game drive, throw wow 1 or 2 small steam games on there, stream em to a school pc, if a teacher comes by, close the game, pull out the drive and watch the teached go mental when he/she can't find out whats on the drive =D
I would use it to store the secret to WORLD PEACE that I came up with it. It store in my brain now but I feel save if I could cut it from my brain to a passworded flash drive. That I could put were no one would every find it and were sun light never reaches.
