[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1032157, member: 55987"] Another thing related to the USB port is using a USB flash drive to bypass Windows login passwords as below [MEDIA=youtube]2v-mGf4_9-A[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=reddit]hacking/comments/sfeflv[/MEDIA] The best methods of protection is to have non-password login and an encryption boot up password for the drives inside your laptop (BitLocker Drive Encryption). Using policy to prevent USB flash drive insertion will not work as the policy can only disable the USB after boot. Neither the use of port blockers. With care, a hacker can remove the port blockers without causing damage to the USB ports. Using the BIOS to disable USB ports is not effective either as the BIOS can be factory reset, CMOS battery can be removed and jumping some pins on the motherboard. [/QUOTE]
