A honeypot for malware that spreads via USB storage devices

I was wondering why you would want your honeypot to spread via USB storage devices.

Using wayback looks like the last version update was back in 2012 - the mention of 32 bit systems ending at Win7 is a bit of a clue, but this project could still have a useful role - although this isn't the most scientific approach, a trends search of "USB stick" vs "Cloud storage" shows there still might be a bit of life in the old usb dogs yet.

Of couse, add "dropbox" to that trends search and USB sticks look like their losing serious relevance from mid 2010 - until you factor in the fact that you're looking at a self selecting sample: People on the internet looking for internet connected things. Which USB sticks route around for a lot of users.

>Ghost supports Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 32 bit.

What? Doesnt look like a lot of people will be able to use this. I guess if you had vulnerable XP systems you could use it on your network to attract malware you're already infected with.

Very cool idea :)
