Emulating a native USB stick within vmware

I use a sandbox to test malware any analyse it.
One of the latest malware explicitly looks for USB-sticks to write code on it.
What I'd need is a little (windows) tool to emulate/fake a USB stick within the Win7 that acts like the malware victim, so the malware "thinks" it's real. That fake should not be recognised as fake to easy as the malware will not run then.
VMWare-tools usb-redirection is not an option as this implies VMWare tools installed and that is a nogo for the victim.



Thanks so much for your ideas... :-)



Cheers
Marcus

Use ImDisk to create a virtual USB-drive to test your malware with.



Link to ImDisk Toolkit software: https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/



However I don't know if the malware will recognize this as fake or not.

            flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror

            Image
            0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job. I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So...
