usbguard guided exercise red usb not allowed first time

Jump to solution

In the usbguard guide exercise, when you first mount and allow the red usb drive, you will notice in the new rule ending with this in that line: with-connect-type ""
After you do a reboot (as asked in the assignment), and still find the red usb being blocked, try again to allow (with -p) that usb drive. The instructions do say, just try again but not why.

This is what i found:
When you take a look at the rules after you allowed the device again, you will see a second rule for that red usb 'almost' the same but with a slight difference. the second one has at the end: with-connect-type "unknown"
It's due to this difference that the first time you allowed the red drive didnt work after reboot.

Hope this helps others some more!

@IvanLabrovic Thank you for your observation and sharing it along with your input here.
