    Hello Fam! Am I wrong about USB Killer? I can't imagine unregulated amounts of destructive power is used to test anything! Unless like I said, the plan is to check people's intelligence, and that would cost a bunch of money in equipment just to teach people a lesson! And why damage, when you can achieve the same thing in software, by tracking who plugged it?

    The USB killer started as a student project. I can't believe it went into production. The purpose appears to be purely malicious - to damage other people's laptops and computers. Can you imagine if you were a student and some prick destroyed your laptop with all your work on it for a joke?

      I think the original version was used to test how well host devices would survive having defective devices plugged into them. If your USB stick went bad, it'd be bad for it to be able to destroy your computer as well.
      I seem to remember seeing a list of devices which survived the USB killer completely, devices which survived but lost the port it was plugged into, and devices that failed entirely.

      ​@@TheKoenigsParkour Not really... not needed to break things -- AC is just great for destruction, and has the nice property that voltage can be easily adjusted by simple transformers, and capacitors will pass AC current through instead of blocking current flow, increasing the options for destructive capabilities. Rectifier modules in my work's server room convert AC to DC to feed the -48V DC plant and have some things to do with charging the battery strings, however.... Rectifiers are for more interesting, sophisticated, non-destructive things.

      There's no way for you to use your human senses to tell if a wire is live or an old capacitor is still holding charge, whereas you can see, hear, and smell a fire, or a dangerous animal, etc.
      Knowing that something could potentially hurt, but not having any way to tell other than using tools and being careful as fuck not to touch things is just so much _worse_

    It will travel from the I/O -> USB Controller -> Southbridge now it could take several routes either to the PCI Bus (Graphic card, Sound card etc.) or to the Norhtbridge or like you said to the SATA controlled devices like SSD's.
    So it will definitely kill the USB Controller and possibly the Southbridge. So I believe the Motherboard will be fried and if you are unlucky also the Graphic card.
    It would be interesting to test this though, since you can't really predict the path it will take.

    Their rational is they want manufacturers to install protection circuits to prevent this but that doesn't make sense to me. This concept would work just as well on serial ports, HDMI, VGA, Thunderbolt etc. More over you can always just build a beefier circuit to overcome any manufacturer's protection circuit.

    • @alexanderthomas2660

      It does make sense, if you consider the sellers of these devices a kind of mafia. “That's a nice USB port you have there, it would be a shame if something would happen to it. We do happen to be selling special protection circuits…”

      @Brett Bates I wouldn't call it "well built" per say. Usually that phrase describes build quality, not protection against random things.
      ie. certain casio watches are waterproof but looks rather disappointing otherwise. Surely you wouldn't call those "better built" than a rolex that isn't?

    Medi is right. Even when I worked in major electronic design, assembly and testing, we had a device called a HI-POT device but it was only specifically designed to work in the mains of the PSU units where there was the ever so slight chance of something like that happening.
