"CIRCLean" which can safely retrieve data from malware infected USB memory

Just plug it in the USB port and completely destroy the gadget "USB Killer"Or steal data from a PC using a usual USB memory"USBee"The risk of malware using USB memory has been pointed out. Meanwhile, organizations that are based in Luxembourg and are engaged in computer security-related effortsCIRCLHowever, it is possible to retrieve only necessary data safely from "a USB memory with risk of being infected with malware, etc."CIRCLeanWe announced.

"CIRCLean" automatically reads an untrusted document file saved in the USB memory, converts it into a state of no danger, and can copy the data to another USB memory. Data (in USB memory) can be obtained safely even if the USB memory itself is a dangerous thing that can not be trusted or malware is stored in the memory.

CIRCLean is open source software, and the source code is published on GitHub.

CIRCLean is software, so you need to install it on PC and use it. Moreover, in the worst case, there is a possibility that the terminal which installed CIRCLean is infected with malware and put at risk. So it is recommended to install it on a single board computer etc. which can be purchased at low price such as Raspberry Pi and use it.


It is easy to use, first unplug the device that installed CIRCLean and turn off the power.


Next, insert a USB memory suspected of being infected with malware in the top slot of the main unit.


Next, insert a reliable USB memory for copying data in the slot below it. The important thing at this time is to use USB memory with larger capacity than the first inserted USB memory for copying. This is because the data retrieved safely may be larger than the original data.


Next, connect the power to Raspberry Pi.


In the case of Raspberry Pi with a diode, wait until the flashing stops. If you do not have a diode plug your earphones into the body, enjoy the music to play OK.


Conversion completed when the music finishes playing. It is OK if you exit the USB memory from the main unit.
