Topic: [WTS] USB Killers. Plug in and damage the computer (Read 1361 times)

If you did need to wipe data, you can certainly wipe most of it by running a magnet along it in one direction several times or by placing it in a microwave oven (I think). All storage is metallic in the computer and flash's index can be corrupted with magnetic fields.

The motherboard is the main circuit of your computer.  This aims to attack the motherboard but is said to leave ALL storage mediums unharmed and the CPU.

So the question is, is your motherboard one with sensitive data on a ROM, etc?

Its purpose is for destroying your computer as the police are bursting in through the door but the hard drive contents will most likely be retrievable. It will hence be used for spiteful revenge attacks which makes the sellers and designers low lifes as far as Im concerned.

Im not sure it would be safe to assume the computer would be wiped of ALL stored data.

I'm ready to order! I need to do some stuff with it

What do you mean by that? It didn't damage it?

this would be no use for scrubbing a laptop of incriminating evidence, At best its going to kill the motherboard although i doubt it would even do that, probably just kill your usb. you hard drive is still going to contain all the incriminating evidence your trying to destroy.

My friend bought the version 1 of this USB, and sent it to my brother. My brother used it and I can say that he has now a legitimate reason to buy a gaming computer

This is better than sending shit to your enemies like in that other thread

My dear man, I assume you've interacted with human beings before.  I would say 4 out of 10 people would figure out a good reason to use one of these things.

This is really interesting.  I'll have to think about this.

This would be useful for people needing to scrub a laptop for incriminating reasons. Say you are getting secondary at the border,they want to search phone or laptop. Interesting product.
Would be interested in a cellphone version.

Wow, wtf? This thing is amazing, but the question is who would buy this?

This could potentially cause a lot of irreversible damage...

i am sorry but you are an id*** to sell such stuff

is that program need to be running first? or just plug the device to computer?

I think it will work on every motherboard. It presumaly changes volage and current to blow the parent circuit in the motherboard. There are usually devices like resettable fuses, CBBRs and relays that prevent this from happening in the CPU the heatsink, peripherals (it doesn't damage the drive) and in the Hard Drive itself.

Anyone know if this usb can damage any hardware (not only computers), for example a photocopy that can print from usb. It "works" with all the operative system, or there is anyone that can protect from this voltage killer problem?

This is not made by dark purple. It should be like version 2 bug u haven't tested it yet. I will do soon and report.

Quick question, is this version 1 or version 2?

I too have no idea!

I would have though that if yo u had a critical computer and therer was no way of destroyin it, you could plug thisin.

BUt to do something as drastic as this, the computer must also be exected to do something criticle. If it doesn't touch the HDD, CPU or RAM then it must just damage cables in the motherboard and render them unusuable (maybe damaging the capacitors fitted to the board and the transformers)

I would like to purchase one of these in the near future for testing of Hardening USB.   

Kind of similar to this - http://www.bb-elec.com/Learning-Center/All-White-Papers/USB/Ruggedizing-USB-Connections-for-Tough-Environments.aspx

I have no idea? lol. I guess you have people who would take pleasure in damaging someone elses motherboard. As far as I can see it doesn't mess with the HD so not critical. But still would cause someone a head ache.

A screamingly obvious but important question - has anyone figured out why somebody would want to buy such a thing?

Article about them here :

http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/10/usb-killer-flash-drive-can-fry-your-computers-innards-in-seconds/

You dont charge it no. As far as I am aware it is multi use Plug it in and fry the motherboard. I am planning on testing one this weekend if I have the guts and depending how many people are interested in buying one.

Certainly dont charge it in your computer  

Is it rechargable or can you only use it a certain amount of times?

USB Killers are here! Plug this in and it damages the motherboard/ usb port of any computer or laptop. 90 USD plus Shipping. Paid in BTC


Be careful where you plug these in as they will cause havoc.


Due to current high orders these will take 8 days until they are dispatched to you.

Enjoy and use responsibly.
