This USB Stick Will Kill Ur Computer/laptop Within Seconds by Nobody: 9:32am On Oct 05, 2016 |
What would happen if u are walking by the road and find a 256gb usb stick laying on the ground, I guess u would want to pick it up. But beware, it might just be a usb killer. Plug it into ur computer and it will fry the motherboard within seconds. Sounds like a joke right? USB Killer was demonstrated on video by a Russian hacker known only as Dark Purple, and guess what, u can buy one now at usb-killer.com. How does it work? Inside the drive is an inverting DC/DC converter that charges several capacitors to negative voltage. When this voltage is reached, the converter switches off, and a transistor opens to discharge the voltage back into the USB port. This cycle runs as a continuous loop until the USB drive is inoperable, which occurs in less than 3 seconds. So lets say u want to kill ur friend's computer, or u have a computer in ur office or at home that someone wants to access, just give them the usb killer, once pluged in the computer s TOAST. Below is a demonstrative video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TidRpVWXBE Guys at everythingapplepro decided to test the usb killer with the iphone 7 plus using a usb dongle. They also tried it with the galaxy note 7 hoping it doesn't explode. Both of these devices provide low voltage and are expexted to have some sort of protection at the usb that would trip off at high voltage saving the motherboard. Watch the video below for th result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlgwV5unTO4 1 Like |

So the sole objective of the USB device is to kill people's computers. Well I think that's part of cyber terrorism which is a great offence. OP you should have informed people on how to identify the dangerous USB devices |
Re: This USB Stick Will Kill Ur Computer/laptop Within Seconds by Nobody: 9:52am On Oct 05, 2016 |
Dottore: Not entirely. The USB killer is supposedly a testing device that lets u test a device's resistance to high voltage. It could also be a security device in home or office break-in – Your home or office has been invaded by burglars looking for valuable personal information in order to steal your identity. They see an innocuous-looking USB drive next to your computer and hope to gain access to its data. However, it's not an ordinary flash stick. After inserting USB Killer PRO into the computer the USB port is burned out, protecting you and your information. |

Watch as the usb killer instantly killed a Microsoft lumia 950 within seconds. I can't believe Microsft released this thrash as a flagship phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enD1J66Vmz4 |

eightsin: Haha. It doesn't affect HDD.only the motherboard dies. This method is the same as connecting a pure usb to usb cable between 2 computers . It fries them. |

greenhulk: That is to say the Nokia 950 can handle a high powered device such as a usb 3 hard drive, which other phones cannot handle. A standard usb power is 500ma but usb 3 handles upto 2000ma. That is to show the advantage of the Nokia 950 and not the "trashiness" |
Re: This USB Stick Will Kill Ur Computer/laptop Within Seconds by Nobody: 2:13pm On Oct 05, 2016 |
d33types: Or maybe galaxy note 7 and Iphone 7 have some sort of protection against high current while the Lumia doesn't. Galaxy note 7 has usb type C, it can handle whatever the Lumia can handle. 1 Like |

greenhulk:The note 7's Usb host mode aka otg cannot handle 2 connected devices at a time but the 950 can.. Check reviews. With grear power comes great responsibly. |
