USB killers

Would IT people be stupid enough that if you labeled one of these things "more server RAM" they would stick it in the server and fry it? Asking for a friend

Even common pajeet wouldn't fall for that.

It would not even work without autorun so

Are you retarded?

No.

Most IT people don't even have access to the servers.

Do you even have to ask?

give it back jamal

You'd have better chances with "software authorization key" like pic rel

If you took the skull off it so it looked like a normal USb I'd put it in my PC if I saw it laying on the ground

put it in an old shitty usb flashdrive housing, wrap paper tape around it, make it look beat to shit
then leave it laying in a starbucks or something
bonus points: take the end piece of a lanyard and attach it to the usb so it looks like it fell off

>Guy at works come in with presentation for a project hes been working on solo
>Everyones in the lounge
>He plugs it into the Intel NUC
>Shuts off immediately
>Wont turn on
>He messes around with it for 15 minutes
>Still wont work
>Nevermind about the NUC, just plug it into your laptop
>He does
>His laptop wont turn on now (Some Acer aspire crap)
>"Ah I forgot to charge my battery I think"
>Anyone got a laptop on them?
>Give him my X220
>Soon as he plugs it in it shuts off
>Wtf
>Grab the USB stick immediately
>It's no brand
>Ask him where he got it from
>"it's mine from home I saved my project to it, it was working from home"
>Rip the cover off it
>No flash modules on it
>Just caps
>FFFUUUUU

Apparently one of his room mates wanted to play a prank on him and swapped his USB stick with some cheapo USB killer off ebay. Little did he realise that it actually fries the motherboard circuity entirely in most cases I had to salvage the mobo off another X220 from ebay to get mine working again. So total losses:

1. His job
2. $40 for my X220 mobo replacement
3. $300 Intel NUC
4. 25 minutes loss of work, he was only allotted 15 minutes but ended up taking 40minutes

did he murder his room mate?

is this a good way to wipe your hard drive in a hurry

Nope. Fries motherboard, at most

I don't even fathom how someone can get a roomate like this. If I see the guy is some manchildren with literally no sense of responsibility i'm not going to live with him kek

It's probable the roommate didn't think it would do more than fuck up the USB port, or that he wouldn't take it to work. Normies are stupid and pranks do go horribly wrong at times.

Something doesn't add up. If the USB killer had no brand, how did he mistake it for the USB with his project on?

why the fuck did you let him plug it into your machine after it killed two others?

Holy fuck

what would even be the point of that

One of these is a USB storage device. The other will fry your motherboard.

Also, all USB drives are the same internally for the most part, you can rip out the components of one and put it into the casing of another.

When you're broke you'll room with anyone to decrease your rent.

I lived with black folks for a while once. I have a decent lockbox and bike lock which I hid somewhere and chained to a pipe. I also have a decoy lockbox and meme bike chain on a desk chained to a radiator pipe which is also convenient for everyday things like coins, letters and coupons. They never tried anything though, probably because you don't shit where you eat, also I didn't expect them to prank me because black people are high test and don't like doing petty things I guess and they didn't. The worst thing really was the noise and I had to wear earplugs and/or ear protectors.

Just drop it in the hood and write "gf porn" on it.

Or write on it "DO NOT OPEN!"

I knew someone who bought one of his friends a brand new laptop, ipad and phone for Uni. As a prank this guy done a chargeback on his card, police arrested him during class for fraudulent purchases and had him in a cell. took some 4 months getting it all sorted out.

>Drop usb killers disguised as Intel raid unlock dongles around datacenters
>Half of the internet goes down within an hour

>imblying people even have direct access to any of the machines
No one who has access is dumb enough for that shit.

this, you deserve it desu

>implying any server farm would be retarded enough to buy Skylel i9 PCs instead of EPYC.

>tfw work for moderately sized engineering firm in indiana and we're getting epyc racks soon

*slaps knee*
HWAT?

>more server ram (doesn't even say how much)

Hmm? What is this? Should I insert it? I guess I'l just go ahead and do that!

Would it even have enough charge to kill 3 devices at once?

>lent a friend a USB once
>few days later he comes over my place
>gave it back
>go to format it it
>plug it in
>hear a sizzle
>wat.jpg
>didn't do anything because macbook
Sometimes this old Macbook of mine has it's moments. That cunt shelled out the USB I gave him to put a USBKill in it.

You don't typically need to charge them. If I recall, they use charge from the device, then rapidly discharge again.

Hey, that's one good use for my Raspberry Pi Zero. I'll risk a $5 Raspberry instead of a $1k laptop.

You're one evil son of a bitch.

It's true.

Servers are not supposed to be physically accessed most of the time. They just sit in the corner and run once they are set up.

No one just fucking walks into the server room. And no one fucking plugs any random shit they pick up into a server machine. It just doesn't happen.

This gives me an idea. Fabricobble a USB port with a Neon and a 5V power supply. Use the correct type of diode and you should be able to test flash drives for USB killer.

Put a sticker with thickest font that will fit saying something like "nannas photos" or something.

Another choice is a local holiday location near you. "Grand canyon March 2017" or something


Then drop it near them, curiosity will get the better of them they may even check trying to be good sumaritans to ID the owner from photos

>not using surge protector on your x220

That's why USB-C was created.
Also, you can use your phone to test USB flash drives since the power circuit only allow power to go in one direction.

Lmaooooooooooooooooo

>I am a retard and I don't know how a flash drive works.

Please explain how I'm wrong.

It sends power through the data lines m8

My uni begs to differ.

you're literally a moron.
there is four cables inside,
+,-,Data+, Data-

I would be shocked if that worked. Nobody I know that knows shit about tech will even put an unknown USB into a networked laptop, let alone straight into a server.

USB-C have 25 pins.
and phone's Micro USB, was designed so it can't be short circuited through it.

Same

How the fuck would someone think that's a prank? That's like throwing a live grenade into his bedroom and then holding the door closed.

"It's just a prank, bro."

please continue

>uni
we are talking about actual server rooms not plebs in a uni

what did you do?

>inb4 I'm a pussy so I just smiled when he laughed

just label it "cp" or something like that, so any cunt that fries his mobo deserves it

but the vast majority of people who are connected to networked computers know jack shit about tech

It's how the NHS and loads of other companies got hit with Ransomware. Ivan sent out emails with official sounding email addresses and infected Word documents, then Jenny in finance opens it up and kills the company

All I really did was stopped giving him anything at all.
>inb4 sucked his dick because macfags are gay

your uni is not even a t1 datacenter, thats for sure.
Duty dc engineers or NOCs dont go into server room with random stuff, most bad thing that could happen is some retarded engineer plugging unkown flash drive into his working laptop\desktop.

This guy is the answer to your question, OP.

The new usb kill 2.0 actually does kill hard drives, and literally anything else in the system.
