Killer USB: a unique way to destroy remote computer / Laptop.
A Russian researcher, nicknamed Dark Purple, heard an unusual story from a friend about Killer USB.
This USB drive had 128 number written on it.
Dark Purple, in turn felt this concept interesting too and set out to assemble a Killer USB.
In modern computers, the USB physics is built almost in the processor.
In older computers, North/South bridges are in charge of the USB.
Dark Purple says: The basic idea of the USB drive is quite simple.
When the voltage is reached, the DC/DC is switched off.
At the same time, the filed transistor opens.
It is used to apply the -110V to signal lines of the USB interface.
When the voltage on capacitors increases to -7V, the transistor closes and the DC/DC starts.
The loop runs till everything possible is broken down.
Wondering who would be the next person who will have to write 130 on the USB.
Well I personally feel that this could be a tough lesson to all the thieves out there!
