"You shouldn't try this on your friends computer cause it illegal." **provides link to buy usb killer in description**
shit that really happened
its illegal because you’re destroying something that is not your property.. idk if its legal if you use it in your own technology tho
Dood ! Thats a stupid explanation. Imagine that: Person A installs a bomb in Person Bs Car, which is activated by their car keys. If Person B presses on their car key button and his car explodes, is it his fault that his car got destroyed? Obviously not. By your logic, most hackers wouldnt do anything illegal.
i litteraly had in mind to test it on ma friends
i would tell him what i would do tho he wouldnt believe me haha
I used it on my old nokia
The USB killer died.
Wait what
Wth
Yeah, old Nokias were un-killable...
I still have a working 3310 does not support modern simcard though.

LinusTechTips I like it!
LinusTechTips Uau you actually answered! Thank you, love your videos. I only play on consoles but I always try to learn something about pcs in your videos!
do you guys have an LTT monogram? just do that
I, for one, welcome Linus's face. He made this shit, he owns this shit.. let him own it.
in computer security, if an attacker has physical access, all bets are off
like i could buy this thing or just use a hammer
but you are spotted instantly. with usb you are more discrete.
Some dicks plant USB killers in public "USB drops" so random strangers can fry their laptops/phones.
The only thing worse than a dick is a dickless dick.
It's common sense though. Would you inject something that you got of the ground into your veins?
A proper security policy with common defense in depth layers can greatly increase an individual's ability to protect their data from the attacker even if they have physical access. You can take it pretty far even to the point of creating custom triggers that will set off an event in case someone is able to break into the computer case to try and connect USB headers or the like.
So if your computer has no power, the USB killer can't kill it. Bottom line, never plug in your PC

Electric cars:
chuckles *IM IN DANGER*
Doesn't even need to be an EV. Nowadays pretty much every can that you can buy new (except a Caterham, those are as analogue as they get) has its engine, suspension, steering, etc connected to the electronics you find in the interior, so if that dies, the car most likely will die as well. Hell, my uncle is a mechanic, and he once had a Mercedes shutting down its engine every 5 km, not because there was something wrong with the engine of fuel pumping, but because of a bug in the programming related with the AddBlue system. The car was “fixed” with a fucking software update at Mercedes itself without a single bolt being loosed. So if a bug can brick your car, imagine a USB killer. Thank god I drive a 1993 car, don't have to deal with that shit in the slightest :P.
It works on has gas cars as well
@@omair.raza1 yeah, pretty much everything with an ECU connected to a USB port.
Some Trucks use USB ports as diagnostics ports. I think it would kill the management of the car.
@@Predalien3001 A car that uses AdBlue is supposed to limit its power to a minimum when the tank is empty. At least in Germany some Trucks are modified with little dongles to drive without expencive AdBlue. But its illegal.

They'll have the usb ports on their devices disabled.
This isn't a software problem like viruses, this is on a hardware level, so an antivirus probably won't do anything, except for the off-chance that the antivirus disallows certain USB devices based on certain definitions of what a harmful USB device is.

lol funny fraud,, usb is 5 volts.. it would require a transfor 5inches sqaure to step it up to 100 volts lets alone 300 lol amazing these idiots dont think about learning basic electronics...
usb killer, aka usb PORT... like it says.... not pc killer its a usb killer lol which only really take 7 or 8 volts....
Why is it legal to sell this? it's basically a tech weapon
Because, as with most things, it is up to people how they use it. A man could use a truck to run down a bunch of holiday shoppers (too soon?), so should we never sell motor vehicles? A knife can be used to stab/cut someone, should we never sell knives? All it takes is one person to have a legitimate use case for this that ISN'T illegal (say, making a video about it?) and at that point we should trust people to do the right thing, even if sometimes they don't.
Creating a nanny state where we wrap everything in bubble wrap and constantly surveille people to keep them from hurting themselves and each other is not the proper solution.
mygetrichslowplan Unlike a truck, or a knife, this device has no other utility than for killing the motherboards of one's enemies.
Or you can use it on your old stuff that you throw out anyway to keep that creepy guy going through your trash from coming back.
its main purpose is for companies to check their port's defense against overvoltage/whatever it called (Some devices' ports are immune to this USB killer, like iPhone's lightning port.)
Then why do we have guns? Say someone comes at me with a samsung galaxy S1? do i just let them blow me up?
The question is and will always remain, why. Why was it even made?
Incase you have important documents on your computer (or something of importance) you could quickly plug it into your own computer if you were ever atttacked or someone tried to steal your computer and get things from it. I assume this is one of many reasons.
THEmickTHEgun I doubt it would do anything to your hard drives. Your mobo would be fucked but your hard drives would be fine.
im sure at 100% the ubs killer don't kill an hard drive or ssd
Why not?
We make shit cause we can - and this thing is a fun project :)
+THEmickTHEgun Even if the HDD's internals are dead the data would still be there and readable by specialists as they are based on magnetism, not electricity.
If you want to protect data you can just encrypt them and don't need to wreck any hardware.

The USB killer is just as deadly to computers as removing the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 was to Apple's sales.
not at all?

So you're saying it's not deadly at all. *WRONG*
This is like guy using a confusing incorrect this is like analogy
***** In my mind, making a horrible mistake would actually affect Apple's sales. Reality is just..weird.
I don't know what do you see more often an iPhone 6 or an iPhone 7? And btw the iPhone 7 sales were healthy at the beginning but decreased relatively fast.

EDIT: OH DEAR GOD
Why couldn't they just put a fuse in usb ports? If the port receives a voltage above the usual, the fuse would break the circuit.
Budred123 that would be expensive. that would be 6-16 fuses per motherboard + they would have to drop a lot rnd money to make tbem work well in such a confined space.
Roman 2510M It's better to use a MCB
Fuses break the link after a x amount of amps goes through them. Not voltage.
fightingfalconfan ah, okay, I only have the most basic understanding of electronics (aka not very much).
No worries, I spent 20 years in the computer building/repairing business. I got board and got into automotive repair. Been doing that for the past 4 years.
I already design my USB devices with 1500kv isolation and it still takes up board space but not as much as you would think the issue is that even with isolation, you need to also have a spark gap for high voltages.
when he talk about acer aspire one, where i am now still use it for work from home

This isn't really any more of a hazard than someone hitting your device with a sledgehammer.
You'd hear someone hitting your PC with a sledgehammer.
Actually, the threat is completely different: you leave this lying around, people pick it up and plug it in. Of course you can destroy a PC that you have physical access to, but it's hard to make someone hit their PC with a sledgehammer...
No... If u hit a device with a sledge hammer, its completely destroyed, if u plug it in, not everything is gone
The difference you can get a sledgehammer for less money

Tuxedo Jack is that you?
Adrian Godoy it wouldn't
jonasxdufek What are you, 5? Its not hard to rewire electronics without shocking yourself.
no, it will catch fire due to the fact that it will keep going forever, unlike the usb killer, which pulses the current and stops when the thing dies.

You can protect it by putting your pc in a case (not the case the pc is using) like a case around that and you need a key for access to the usb ports.
I miss you Luke. I hope Foatplane is a massive success fella.
Linus you forgot to add *GONE SEXUAL*
the worst thing to do with the USB killer is turn it into a USB dead drop.
can you explain ?
Thomas Champliaud a USB dead drop is a publicly hidden USB that you could access anytime, you can put any file in it and share it to other people who will use the dead drop in the future. If you change the USB to a killer one you could kill the laptop of the person using it.
wow im getting one
O SHIT I LEFT MY SECRET SPY CO-CONSPIRITOR THE WRONG USB DEAD DROP! AND HES TAKING TO TO PLUG INTO HQ'S MAINFRAME!!!! AND WE'RE ALL HARDWIRED INTO THE SERVER!!!! MY BOSS IS GOING TO KILL ME!
Cheaper option - manufacturers add in out of phases parallel diodes to the chassis ground as a voltage spike regulator
I have one of those old acer aspire ones laying around I may use it for this
You could try creating a energy capacitor limit to the hardware within the USB to limit the amount of voltage that can be put into a USB device and how much the device can discharge
there are those people who just wants to see the world burn.
Ivan Milan yep I bought 5!
andrew hill didn't know satan had a son?
Ivan Milan well buy was kinda a lie, I built 4 bought one to get a idea how there bult! there pretty easy to build well easier to build then a Raspberry gamboy!
ME! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
could unhook the front usb headers, though inconvenient, could also put a lockable backplate on the back of the pc to restrict access. could also have a lockable front usb, which connects the front usb header to a key to turn their ports on and off.
Well, next project that I'm going to do: Create a removable or switchable USB ports for the system.
And what about the electronics handling the connected USB ports?
It's like a PCI slots, so you can just swipe in and out. Now that you mention it... I guess I need to add in some diodes.
Best if these are Zener Diodes, but using Varistors can also be beneficial for high voltage protection.

why dont computers come with fuses?
that's actually a good idea
i guess its a cost that doesnt make any sense in common use for USB, and uses space... unless this starts becoming common nobody in the industry will care
Anon Ymoose because fuses are slow to react
***** how would you use tubes as a protection
They do sometimes, but fuses are too slow for sensitive electronics equipment. You could use a TVS diode along with active protection circuitry and optocouplers for data lines, but that's expensive and not really necessary (it's like having bulletproof windows in your car)
I have an off the shelf optocoupler, can I use it to block usb killers?
Funny that it has a CE marking when it's sole purpose is to be the most unsafe usb device possible.
what if you tazed the usb port, will it kill the computer?
Caverri A tazer operates at 50,000 volts while flying through the air, and at 1,200 volts once the barbed contacts enter flesh. The most powerful ones operate at 50,000 volts, 26 watts, according to Taser USA.
Tazers will absolutely kill a computer dead.

I'm not familiar with arc lighters. From my knowledge of electrics, I would guess that they use higher amperage rather than voltage. But again, I'm unfamiliar. Either way though, they can still probably murder electronics pretty good.
Caverri arc lighters do shock you with 8000v. Most people think it's just some high frequency noise that doesn't hurt you but iv'e tried putting a metal piece and make contact with the beam and it does hurt. but the beam is so small that only tiny stuff can touch it but i wouldn't try
Imagine plugging one of these onto Google's server.
TheArzonite I wouldn't do anything, it would absorb it all depending on how big it is. like the worst it could do would be warm it up a little, but enough could probably fuck a server base up.
Uhhh can you clarify lol
I am pretty sure they have over voltage protection there, pretty pretty sure
Like they would have a random usb po....
Even if you could somehow find a USB port that connected to every single server they had I doubt it would even be enough to destroy them considering how insanely beefy they are
Curious could you technically install a fuse or surge protector on the inside of a computer close to the USB port and would that work?
Optocoupler workaround: two USBs which are connected and plug into two separate ports. One gets high voltage and the other gets ground. The voltage then arcs through the optocoupler and the rest of the motherboard...
Still a better gift than No mans sky.
no mans sky has come a long way. the rayrod mod adds a ton of jungles and animals.
Ziirf nah
interesting spin on the "still a better love story than twilight" meme
You guys should talk to some engineer before publicly testifying on engineering stuff. Optocouplers won't work on this case. The power lines could still be attacked, and no one will place an Optocoupler in front of a USB 3.1 data line for signal integrity and cost reasons.
you could protect the data lines with small optos. the power lines of the usb could be protected by just having a semiconductor fuse paired with a snubber + some kind of heavy duty zenner. I have thermistors that will cut a 2000v transient to about 2 volts and if you cascade 2 of them well you can be protected against this kind of attack (you can buy fully made circuits, sinetamer has great ones. ) of course if you have a source with a low output impedance there is no way of protecting a board. It will be like using a welding electrode in de usb port lol!
It's not that simple on this particular case. We are talking about very High Frequency lines, you would have to use an optocoupler that won't disturb a 5GBit line and respond on the same speed, that's not going to be practical on a cost perspective, those are not the cheap optocouplers we usually find. Also zeners, TVS and etc. are made for fast transients this won't be an occasional disturbance on the line, this will be a step-up converter, this could fry all this protections by not leaving them time to dissipate the energy as heat, not even mentioning the PCB clearances you will have to leave for the High Voltage isolations to avoid creepage so the arcs wont jump to other exposed pads nearby. So practically this will increase considerably the cost and size of the product so no manufacture will care to implement it. Theoretically, yes, you can protect any line you want from any kind of voltage, but this case it's just beyond practical.
MFeinstein you can get optos that respond to those speeds. will it be cheap.. no. but the methodology is not hard.
elave16 yes, as I said on the original post: not practical for cost reasons.
nhmhmhmmjmjMFeinstein
says dont do it
lists buy link for usb killer in description
???
what if you plug that into an wall power thing(i dont know what it is called in english) using a phone adapter?
THAT HURT ME ON SO MANY LEVELS
oh wait thank god
That's what she said
Your mom said the same thing

Anybody tried it on a plane yet?
Mathis wow I never thought of that, it would be interesting to see.
interesting, yes. Wouldn't wanna try this mid flight, you never know hahahah
Mathis you guys should do that. Also you should reply in this comment what state you're over before you do it. I love free stuff.
Funny thing: If you fry an airplane's electic system it can still land with ease.
You need to also fry the captain and wingmen to seriously damage the plane. ;)
+HistoricaHungaria Except the Airbus A380, which is too large for purely manual controls. Although I'm sure that one also has backup systems.
Would it be possible to disable power to the usb ports in windows and have a batch file to enable the one you are wanting to use at the time. It seems the fact that the killer usb charges from the laptop in the first place is a part of the problem. Just a thought...
"SO-CALLED USB CONDOMS" that caught me off-guard.
