Everyone realizes that with the portable memory the computer can be infected but can flashdisk physically damage our machine? 

Carrying out the unusual project which tries to draw attention to the low awareness of motherboards producers or entire computer units, provokes controversies. The creators want to make us aware of dangers the USB port itself. That is why, they created USB Killer 2.0 which will damage our computer literally within seconds. The cost of such a device is almost 50 euros. 

How does the killer PenDrive work? 

While  connecting the pendrive to the USB port, the device starts charging condensers in a casing up to 220 V, using the source of power from the USB port. after charging up, the high voltage electric charge is transmitted from the pendrive until circuits of a motherboard are damaged. You can watch how it works on the film with the USB Killer tested on the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 notebook.

The whole process is irreversible. Think before you insert a pendrive of unknown origin to your computer. Back in the days, the only threat was letting the viruses onto your equipment  but now burning it is also possible. Let's hope that producers will protect USB ports against such power surge in the future
