We found out that at least 48% of the drive were plugged. This blog post summarizes how we ran the study, highlights the key findings, looks at what motivates people to plug in USB sticks, and discusses possible mitigations to improve USB security.

In nearly all CTF competitions organizers spend dozens of hours creating challenges that are compiled once with no thought for variation or alternate deployments. For example, a challenge may hard-code in a flag, making it hard to change later, or hard-code in a system-specific resource. At ForAllSecure, we are working to build automatically generated challenges from templates.
