Same device as on this question
I have a device which has been infected with a malware (the one which transform file to .lnk, windows shortcut). After cleaning, it didn t show on windows, but on linux.
I ended up to dd /dev/zero on it, the time to get mkfs.ntfs (even thought it take way much time to wipe than download) to be sure the malware were truly gone.
Now, mkfs say the device is 0kb, as do windows.
Did I just brick the USB storage?
This is a troubleshooting question, which is likely to involve a lot of back and forth in the comments. Instead, come on over to chat and we'll extract the information we need from you, like pulling teeth with pliers. Don't worry, we won't use any novocaine on you first, to ensure maximum pain sensation >:)
