Better check your SD Cards for Security issues

I check the cards myself for standard stuff, viruses etc.  But never thought about how easy it is to “fake” the size of the card, or that a microprocessor on it could be compromised…or intentionally compromised from the manufacturer.  I do like the idea of “hacking” the card to be used like an arduino and other micro-controllers.  SD cards are pretty cheap so this could be a nice alternative to arduinos.

Oh the tool to test the card for fake size can be found here http://mympx.org/Downloads/p13_sectionid/2/p13_fileid/13.
