Replacing the label would be trivial, and it could broadcast or connect to a hidden wifi network without your knowledge. Running a compromised controller would give the attacker access to all the data that's ever sent to the SD card, but one would hope that Briar does not cache unencrypted data to the uSD card which the user is expected to write to an physically pass to a potential adversary.Īlso, be aware of products like the Toshiba FlashAir Wifi SD card, which implement a wireless adapter in an SD card form factor. Just like a USB drive, an SD card typically contains a small 8051 or ARM microcontroller. There's also the possibility that the card itself can run untrusted code.

Without breaking that firmware, however, you can't connect USB network->Card reader->USB hub, and you also probably can't connect SDIO/SPI network->SDIO-based-card-reader->USB hub.

The bad news most PC card readers are based on USB, so a targeted attack (which is probably in scope for Briar's customers) may still be possible - you could attack the firmware of the card reader, as described in by Adam Caudill of BadUSB fame.

The SD interface does not implement a similar spec, so this somewhat safer.

Bluetooth gets a lot of hate today for connectivity issues some people face, but seeing it work reliably between vastly different devices almost 20 years apart is an amazing feat in my book and should at least deserve some praise.Ī USB drive can operate fully within the USB spec, implementing a USB hub and USB keyboard, and enter malicious code.

When I saw that I could pull the photos off it in a pinch to my modern Android phone using Bluetooth, and immediately share them online with my former schoolmates from the photos, it was pretty mind blowing to say the least. I didn't think this would be so mind blowing until I found that Android had no similar functionality built in at the time for SMS on desktop via Bluetooth (and still doesn't AFAIK) which really bummed me out that such a powerful OS with such powerful HW was so lacking in features compared to the dying Symbian.Īnother fun anecdote, digging around my parents house this year, I found my ancient 2003 vintage NEC phone which had some VGA photos I took with it of me and my old school mates on it.

On an old Symbian Nokia I had, once you paired it to your PC via Bluetooth, you could send and read SMS texts off it directly from windows just like I can now use Signal/Telegram/Whatsapp desktop clients. Therefore they sounded pretty bad on the cheapo wired hands-free earphones that came in the box, but I didn't care or didn't bother to notice as I now had my favorite bands always with me in my pocket before MP3 players became affordable and I would just get lost in the lyrics on the bus to school. Due to the low amount of storage on the early phones amounting to only a few MB, I spent a lot of time experimenting with aggressive compression to make sure I could fit as many songs on my phone as possible. I remember I would spend hours after school in Photoshop to turn an image I like into the perfect wallpaper for my phone, tuning the resolution and color gradient until it looked perfect on the phone's low resolution display, and using bluetooth to upload them. OMG yes, being able to share jpgs, mp3s and even java apps from one phone to another via Irda then Bluetooth felt mind blowing in the early to mid 00's, considering that most people didn't have internet on their phones (2G/3G data plans were eye-watering at the time, hell, even texts were expensive) but their phones had this short range wireless sort-of-WiFi-ish capability on their phones for sending and receiving files from other phones or even desktop computers.
