The goal of the USB Switchblade is to silently recover information from a target Windows 2000 or higher computer, including password hashes, LSA secrets, IP information, etc… Several methods for silent activation exist including the original MaxDamage technique of using a special autorun loader on the virtual CD-ROM partition of a U3 compatible USB key, and the original Amish technique of using social engineering to trick a user into running the autorun when choosing “Open folder to display files” upon insertion.
