Re: Autorun Pro Enterprise Ii Crack Serial Number

Input device emulation. As @TobyS says, the malicious USB dongle might physically look like a small flash storage device (a dongle), but it can still present itself to the computer as a keyboard or a mouse or somesuch. Then the malicious USB device might start inserting malicious key strokes that subvert your computer.
Exploit a vulnerability. The USB device can contain data or files that exploit vulnerabilities in the code that runs on your computer. As @Jeff mentions, this might include exploiting vulnerabilities in the code that displays file icons in your file manager or exploiting vulnerabilities in your anti-virus software when it scans the drive. It might also include exploiting vulnerabilities in the OS filesystem code (I have seen bugs in that code before, which could be exploited by a malicious filesystem image) or a number of other variants. While I don't currently know of any zero-day vulnerabilities with no known fix in the latest Windows OS, there is a lot of code that runs to handle data from a USB device, and you should assume there are probably more vulnerabilities lurking, waiting to be found.
Social engineering. The USB device can contain files that, when you double-click on them, launch malware. The file names and icons might be arranged to look tempting, to entice users to click on them. This has been exploited before, and is very challenging to prevent.
Bottom line: disabling autorun is a good start, and stops the easiest form of attack. For a company that doesn't have especially high security needs, it's probably "good enough". (It is good enough for me in my own personal computing.) But don't think it's enough to be completely safe; autorun stops only the first of the attacks mentioned above, and other attacks remain possible, as sketched above. Because of these risks, the military completely bans all USB drives.
It may be possible for a USB device to mimic an input device such as a mouse or keyboard and interact with the operating system without any user interaction. However, I have not seen any proof of concept for this, so in all likelihood disabling autorun will provide adequate protection.
Stuxnet spread via usb drives using a zero-day attack (Windows systems at risk from Stuxnet attack - ZDNet). There may well be other zero-day usb attacks out there. So as always, I'd say it depends on exactly what software you're running, and on your threat model (see our faq).
We can permit them to do so but I want to know if there is a script or scripts that we can use to auto-update applications and software.
I've read about Munky and AutoPKG but I wanted to check if there is a simple solution to what seems to be a common problem.
If you deploy packages via a Policy using a standard .pkg you can try and disable any automatic update process for the app (exactly how that would be down will vary between apps) and use Jamf's Patch Management feature to update apps that out of date.
For apps that a aren't covered by Jamf's Patch Management catalog you can create Smart Groups to identify apps that are out of date, and use those groups to enable Self Service policies for user initiated updates (or push updates if needed). You can use the Smart Group criteria to evaluate the version number with a regex to identify out of date apps, and this is a very useful script for creating those regexes: _ge_version_regex
