[ale] Usb Autorun Attacks Against Linux At Shmoocon 2011

[Ron Frazier]

I had been meaning to turn off autorun on my Linux systems anyway. You 
can do this from the Nautilus file browser. Go to edit, preferences, 
media. At the top, there are a number of individual media items that you 
can set to "do nothing". At the bottom is a drop down of lesser used 
media. For each one of these, you have to set a corresponding drop down 
below to "do nothing". There is no way to see all these options at once. 
After I save these, I go back in and check the "Never prompt or start 
programs on media insertion" checkbox just to be sure everything is off.

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
