Wow I need to get a U3 Thumbdrive !
A thumbdrive with 2 partition, 1 which emulate a CD/DVDrom device when plugged into your workstation.
Quoted from Wikipedia, “USB flash drives adhering to the U3 specification are termed “U3 smart drives” by U3.com. “U3 smart drives” differ from traditional USB flash drives because they come preinstalled with the U3 Launchpad, which emulates the Windows OS start menu, and controls program installation.”
Autorun ? Payload ? Malware ? endless ways to go right through your cleverly laid perimeter security.

VMware has announced VMware Server 1.0 and it’s FREE.
I’m a great fan of VMware Workstation for testing various Linux distros and creating a infrastructure to test certain software features.
With VMware Server free, I can bring my work home too. (Not really a good thought ?)
You can download VMware Server here.
