This is 'Dead Drops'. It looks like a USB memory is embedded in the wall, and that's right.

Dead Drops is an anonymous P2P file sharing project that uses public spaces and has been up and running in New York for a few weeks.

It's somewhere around here.

For example, this brick wall.

I bring my laptop with me, and when I spot 'Dead Drops' I immediately approach them.

Insert it into your laptop's USB slot, read the 'readme.txt' inside, get an overview of your plan, and leave the files you want to share on this USB memory.

Then walk away as if nothing happened.

By the way, this is the contents of 'readme.txt'.

For another wall.

It will look like this.

Not only walls, but also stairs.

When I approached it, I saw that there was indeed a USB memory embedded in it.

Execute file exchange like this. It's exciting, isn't it?

They are installed not only on walls and stairs, but also in places like underground public telephones.

here.

Insert it like this and execute file sharing. The behavior is completely suspicious.

By the way, ``Dead Drops'', which is the origin of the idea for ``Dead Drops '', is a method used by spies to exchange confidential documents, money, maps, and microfilm without meeting each other face to face. , hidden 'spikes' containing confidential information in public places, such as walls in busy areas, under rocks, under potted plants, etc., and using some kind of signal to indicate that they have been hidden. It's about conveying things and passing them on.

This is that spike. Hide it by inserting it under a movable rock in the park, or by inserting it into a gap in a wall.

In modern times, dead drops by spies have become more sophisticated, and it is now possible to access the data inside these spikes using wireless LAN or mobile phones, and exchange the data inside without having to pick up the spike directly. It seems that it is.
