In the past, researchers have unveiled 29 types of USB attacks that could compromise your sensitive data by simply plugging in a USB device.
Globotron’s Armadillo is a device that you could use to protect yourself from USB attacks.
Globotron Armadillo USB Firewall
Armadillo is an open-source portable device that acts as a firewall between a USB device and a computer. The firewall isolates the firmware of the USB device so as not to infect your PC if the device has been infected with malicious firmware. You just need to plug in Armadillo between your computer and the USB device using the provided micro-USB cable. Armadillo is an upgrade over USG, the original or first-generation USB hardware firewall device.
The device is manufactured in New Zealand under the supervision of Globotron. The company promises that it will never outsource production to maintain the integrity of the device. Armadillo’s supply chain is strictly supervised and each unit is assembled carefully to ensure that the device meant to protect you isn’t compromised itself.
