In order to put some 'practice' on this attack, I ve been trying this night to effectively use autorun mechanisms and see what could be possible. After reading the MSDN specs about autorun.inf file creation, I added an autorun.inf into my USB device along with a little batch script whose purpose was to copy the 'SAM' table and copy of the 'SET' command result into a specific folder on the usb device. Nothing happens... Even after being sure auto-run is enabled. Something should be missing... are there specific operating systems that disable auto-run by default ? (I am using windows 2000) However, burning the batch + autorun file onto a cd-rom and inserting it into the tray makes the auto-run sequence loading... So 2-cents question: which os'es do really use USB devices auto-run and on which USB devices does it work ? (not a usb hard-disk key it seems)...
USB devices install a driver, nothing to do with autorun.inf that I know of.. You mis-understood.
As your test suggested, it does work when using a CD.

Gadi.
