In addition, this software can also be used to verify and ultimately detect fake USB flash drives. A fake flash drive has been manipulated to display a storage capacity much higher than the drive is capable of storing. They are usually detected while attempting to fill a drive beyond its actual real capacity. At which point you'll usually encounter a data corruption error of some sort.
The USB Flash Tools toolkit offers the following features:
- Verify USB drive Capacity: Detects fake flash memory cards and USB drives by verifying their actual capacity.
- Backup/Restore USB drives: Creates and restores images of USB drives and flash memory cards.
- Securely Erase USB drives: Permanently deletes contents using various overwrite methods:
- Zeros
- Pseudorandom data
- Royal Canadian Mounted Police DSX
