How digital protection is helping to protect physical goods

Physical security is probably not something many people connect with the internet, unless it’s in terms of avoiding stalkers. But from smart phones to heavy goods vehicles the internet is opening up a whole new range of ways to protect physical goods. Most of these are developments of GPS tracking technology and other remote asset management systems. But due to increased automation these options are allowing owners a huge number of options for dealing with theft, loss and accidents.

What is becoming the classic example of this is “spy in the cab” technology such as the vehicle tracking systems that are used by commercial fleets. These systems don’t just let fleets know where their vehicles are. They can track speed and direction but can also allow a certain degree of remote control. For example stolen vehicles can now be stopped and locked from a computer at the fleet’s headquarters. So if a thief steels an HGV the driver can call the company or activate a panic button which will then make the vehicle slow to stop, ready for the police to find and return it.

How to Make Fake Pen/USB/Flash Drive Genuine/reset to Original Capacity ?

**I have changed some of the facts about USB Pen Drive, like from where I bought and related to its manufacturing company.

Few months ago I bought a supposedly 8GB USB drive pretty cheaply from a person. Luckily for me a user messaged me with their suspicions that the seller was selling hacked drives. For those that don’t know what hacked drives are they have basically had the firmware edited to report a higher capacity than the actual chip on board. Anything you try to write to the chip above the actual capacity will then show up as corrupted data.
