Ever been to Palika (Delhi) or other such markets & wondered whether the USB drive is actually that big? Believe me I have seen 512GB & 1TB USB pen drives in such markets.
It’s really risky to fall for it & there wasn’t any quick solution to detect till the time we saw H2testw created by Harald Bögeholz
H2testw runs in german by default but has an english option too.
Check more details here http://www.heise.de/software/download/h2testw/50539 (german, use Google translate)
or see the report at http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
