  • Summary: A forensic challenge find out who the owner of the USB stick was and reconstruct their story.

    You are given a virtual representation of a USB stick that was found at a scene of a possible crime and you play a police officer trying to solve a case with very limited information. You are not    A forensic challenge find out who the owner of the USB stick was and reconstruct their story.

    You are given a virtual representation of a USB stick that was found at a scene of a possible crime and you play a police officer trying to solve a case with very limited information. You are not given any tools to do so, but you can use any tools you have on your computer.

    The USB Stick Found in the Grass is not subject to any intrinsic limitations on which the game is built. Quite the opposite: TUSFitG is as close to the real thing as possible.

    Your job is to find what it is all about, if the stick is in any way related to what have happened and IF anything happened.

    And remember: sometimes it is the journey that is more important than the destination!    … Expand

    After a brief introduction, you get access to a virtual USB flash drive found at the scene of a possible crime. You browse its contents (photos, apps, books, videos, a journal and a password-protected archive) in Windows to determine whether the device really is connected to some awful occurrence. The most important file is the journal, which in fact is an extremely well-written crime story. Reading it, analyzing the files for clues and looking for a way to crack the password was truly thrilling. [04/2021, p.58]

You find a USB stick and examine it to try to find clues.

    Playing this game adds a virtual drive to your system. The drive imitates a USB stick with real programs: Open Office, Irfanview, and so on. The programs can actually be run, and install themselves on your real system. One of the programs is Quicktime 7.74, which has known security problems and hasn't been updated since 2016.

    From a security viewpoint, I find this extremely foolhardy. One of the programs already is insecure, and It's much too easy to push an update that would install a real virus on the virtual drive, and then on your system. From a practical viewpoint, I'm upset that a game would install real programs on my computer.

    Two languages are available, Polish and English. Even if you choose English, the first screen is in Polish. That's confusing: I wasted some time wondering why I couldn't get English, until I decided to continue in Polish and saw that the game later changed to English.

    0/10 for the security risk and modifying your system.    … Expand
