Essential Software for Thumbdrives?
MaufTarkie asks: "My manager just handed me a 256 megabyte thumbdrive. I already know about UnixKit for Windows and the WEP Key Generator Utility for Wi-Fi Networks, but I'm interesting in hearing what other people are putting on their drives. My drive will potentially touch a range of systems (Windows, Unix, and MacOS X), so any software is fair game. What are some essential tools I can (should) put on this?"
this topic is a dupe from like.. last year or so
:)
A lot can change in a year.
I know that if you go to all the links, it will explain what each one does, but could you please provide a few words next to each software you recommend so that we know what each of them is? I don't feel like visiting every single link on this page if most of them will not interest me.
If managers are 'handing these drives to people' at random, leading to people asking slashdot what they should stick on them, clearly it's time for some malcontents to write some sort of cross platform malware to use said drives as vectors.
I'm not advocating this, but it's what generally happens when storage devices are bandied about aimlessly, and that's what 'managers' are doing here.

WTF? Talk about cutting off your nose in spite of your face.

Which: hex editor, ramdrive app,process and services viewers, gimmicky little password finders/revealers, various other programs, a directory, and little tool for changing the resolution through command line.
