Worried over malicious USB sticks? Linux has you covered with USBGuard.
There are USB sticks that will destroy your computer, USB sticks loaded with spyware, and even official enterprise USB sticks infected with malware. Last, but never least, when it comes to stealing data from a computer, you can't beat a USB stick. There are devices like the USG USB stick firewall, which can protect you, or if you're a Linux user, you can always stop attackers armed with USB sticks with USBGuard. ...
... USBGuard, as current stable Linux kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman recently pointed out, has been around for over a decade. For some reason, this user-space tool, which provides access control to USB devices, is not well known. It should be. It's a great addition to anyone needing to protect a Linux desktop or server.
