I should think so, too! Leaving unlabelled devices out in public (Or mostly open access) places is probably going to land you with a high level of equipment loss from inquisitive fellows and eBay opportunists enjoying an arguable Pi giveaway! :-o Put some ownership info on these, and then you might have a case respect of those which go walkabout.

I mean yeah that's pretty basic, but it's still not something anyone new to Linux would know about? And for casual Linux users they could easily use Linux for a long time without knowing what the home folder is.

What's the home folder?

@@MrSquirrel1693 It's a folder in the root of the file system "/home/". Some users (specifically humans or some programs) have a folder in the home folder that's the same as their username, then in that is all their personal files. It's kind of like "C:/Users" on Windows, and very similar to the "/Users/" directory on Mac. But do note that when people say the "home folder" they mean the folder that contains all of the user files. It doesn't have to be in /home/, it can be in other places, e.g. root's is normally in /root/ instead. This is why ~ is used, as it will always expand to the home folder location regardless of where it is. Obviously somewhat a simplification since we're talking about linux, it doesn't have to be true on some systems, or has exceptions, etc.

First I would've checked systemd directories and then the package manager data. Rasp Pi usually uses a Debian based distro. While I'm not familiar with apt, it's probably in /var/lib/apt or /var/cache/apt for cached packages. /var/log probably has a pkg mgr log to parse out what was explicitely installed by the sudo user.

It’s less about a case and logo to explain what a non-nefarious device does, my comment is pointing out that people appear to assume the device is less likely to be nefarious when given a case and logo when in fact I could just make a nefarious device and put it in a case with a logo to trick people. Of course there’s always that smart white hat and eventually someone is bound to crack it open and figure out what it to only to find out that it’s nefarious but for 99% of people the case + logo thing seems to tell them it isn’t bad

@@Mr539forgotten Yea. This is so much abusable and could land anyone in trouble. You know what a USB killer is? A small device that looks like ordinary USB stick drive, but it contains series of capacitors that can generate like hundreds of volts out of just 5 within just a fraction of second, and then pump it in the data feed of the USB connector. When you buy stock from legal store, it is clearly stamped with an image of skull with crossbones, meaning that this device will kill your computer if not protected properly. But as it happens, these little but hell deadly devices are easy to obtain and even easier to dismount! So you can just take an old malfuncioning USB stick drive, dismount it, remove the original device out of plastic and place in the dismounted USB killer. You successfully disguised USB killer as an ordinary USB stick drive. It only waits for its victim. NOTE: THIS ACTION IS HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!! IT MAY AND CERTAINLY WILL LEAD YOU STRAIGHT IN JAIL IF YOU DO IT!!! Someone makes it, deploys it in somewhere and walks away. A curious victim just gets out to explore the contents, unaware of its true nature. Then suddenly, as soon as he plugs it in his laptop, screen goes black and laptop no longer responds to any keystrokes. Fan turned off, all indicators turned off. You can't even turn it on. That's the moment you just realised that computer just instantly died! No way to restore function, no way to restore data. The only way to be able to surf the internet again is buy a brand new computer, because brand new moherboards costs pretty much like brand new computer, not to mention that you have to buy brand new licence of Windows as well, because new motherboard means completely brand new computer. So in reality, changing the motherboard would cost you in the end more than buying new computer with new Windows preinstalled. And all of it just because of one little USB stick.

@@CZghost A USB killer should only affect the series of USB ports on a specific controller, and even then, most are protected so even if one gets killed, the voltage will not be sent through the entire controller.

Think of how much more trouble could be saved if people didn’t randomly steal property they found on campus and try playing detective with it 🤔 Or better yet, at least lead with a “Hey librarian, I found this thing do you know what it is?”

The thing that keeps moths being dumb as rocks are the flames to which they are drawn. Fire is essentially nature's mind eraser, and it's almost been proven that immersing yourself immediately into a soothing pool of flames after learning something removes all the learning from you and gives it to the fire. They tested this with mice, and it was hard to determine how much of the learning was transferred to the fire, as the mice were slain rather quickly each time they were exposed to the soothing pool. It was even more difficult to attempt to extract this learning from the fire itself, and so it was generally assumed and agreed upon that the experiment was successful, and that is why fire is so smart and why moths aren't. You're welcome.

Then the attackers would copy your sticker and go unnoticed. Instead if you are allowed to install devices in public areas install them into a place where only authorised people have access. Like a locked cabinet or similar.

Why not a) out of reach, b) secured. I was wondering why so many raspberry boards were suddenly for sale on eBay from San Diego seller's.

alternate moral of the story: don't poke around with devices that are clearly part of the campus' network and clearly labelled

All the devices should be surrendered to the campus security and ICT team for further investigations. Who knows how many wifi passwords and login credentials the have stolen. Of course a thief will never own up they are thieves.

It was probably harmless but I'd prefer to err on the side of caution. I might be reluctant to return the devices. Could this be perverted into something not so harmless?
