USB Kill 2.0 TestShield


You must login or register to view this content.

For just a few bucks, you can pick up a USB stick that destroys almost anything that it's plugged into. Laptops, PCs, televisions, photo booths -- you name it.


USB Kill 2.0 works by rapidly charging it's capacitors upon being plugged in, then rapidly discharging the stored energy... all in a matter of seconds. On 'unprotected equipment' it will "instantly and permanently disable the hardware".

You might be forgiven for thinking, "Well, why exactly?"
The lesson here is simple enough. If a device has an exposed USB port -- such as a copy machine or even an airline entertainment system -- it can be used and abused, not just by a hacker or malicious actor, but also electrical attacks.

"Any public facing USB port should be considered an attack vector," says the company. "In data security, these ports are often locked down to prevent exfiltration of data, or infiltration of malware, but are very often unprotected against electrical attack."

USB Kill costs €49.95 (about $56 USD), and a Test Shield, which allows users to test for an attack without blowing up their hardware, costs an additional €13.95 (about $16 USD).
