#USBKiller #Tester

[@ElectroBOOM]

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? If you like to post your thoughts and video ideas, submit them to ElectroBOOM subreddiit: www.reddit.com/r/electroboom

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.

Old post, but I made a crude stun gun when I was 15. It's amazing how many stupid shits are willing be a conductor.

[@hdswashere]

@@FullCircleTravis Same. After experimenting with a few circuits, I developed a life-long fear of electric shocks. Not even kidding, those things hurt like hell.

[@sylvrwolflol]

@@hdswashereThe scary thing is the invisibility of it. 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_

What is the name of that music that plays at the part when he says that this video is sponsored by Audible

[@razielaerial6377]

It is way easier (and cheaper) just short GND and 5V pins (big 1 & 4) from USB stick. It can be improved with an inductor so when the USB Port breaks the circuit the inductor shall discharge high voltage due to open, if the circuit does not open then the current itself shall burn everything in the path.

a standard electrostatic discharge from a human hand is going to be on the order of 2kv. if you hit your computer with a 2kv relative discharge you will fry the USB port, they're not designed for that. before bringing you hand close to a computer port, always make physical contact with the case.
