This Will Kill Your Computer #Helpful Post

I'm nervous hey guys this is Austin and

this is the USB Keller now it might not

look like much however this will

straight up kill your computer so this

is a device that's used to test Hardware

so what looks like an ordinary USB

device we take the cap off it could be

any old flash drive instead there's a

series of capacitors inside so if you

plug it into a computer it will charge

those capacitors up and once they're

full it turns around and releases all

that power at 240 volts straight back

into the computer in theory killing it

well the USB Kolo go is a little bit of

a giveaway it doesn't take much to be

able to pop this thing open now before

we proceed do not try this at home

seriously not only is this very possible

for this thing to kill electronics but

it's also a lot of voltage here you want

to be careful and by being careful

I mean don't try this at home so to find

out if this is actually going to work we

have Anna Sue's Chromebook now us became

that this is going to work on around 95%

of computers and the reason for that is

that while some computers have properly

capped USB ports most have completely

unprotected ports which means that if

this thing sends a ton of power through

the computer instead of being able to

block at the port it's gonna send it

straight to the motherboard fry a bunch

of stuff it's going to be dead so in

theory I plug this in and it's going to

die so plug it in in three two one that

was so fast like I didn't think that

took like half a second like it plugged

in I heard a little tiny click it was

dumb for I see this light which makes me

think there's maybe some light but the

screen is definitely dead maybe the

battery's still intact which is running

that light but Chromebook done for I

don't I do the MacBook I don't want to

do that what I think it's good killing I

cook man I think it's gonna kill it

I don't do the MacBook I'm not even

joking right now even part of me wants

into

Oh everyone yeah but everyone's not

gonna have to buy me a new MacBook when

this body alright alright it's not good

time this guy it's on him you're gonna

have macbook blood on your hands

we're going to try the USB killer on the

brand-new 2016 MacBook Pro now normally

you would not want to kill this under

any circumstances however apparently

Apple has actually fixed the USB ports

so that they are not susceptible to an

attack like this so because this doesn't

have normal USB ports we're gonna be

using a USB C to USB a adapter this

shouldn't affect anything but we'll find

out dude I'm so nervous I'm so nervous

right now

alright there's nothing to it just plug

the adapter in in three two one oh it

clicked it clicked

oh it's clicking you hear that oh it

survived all right that's enough

clicking that's nothing okay you're

getting you good good I was so convinced

it was about to die so now what I want

to know is do we actually kill the port

so I plug in power yes so we could

definitely still charge with the port so

I think everything should be fine I also

have a USB Drive here so we should be

able to see it pop up or not

well do we actually like kill the date

on this port again so it looks like this

is still getting power so the power part

of this pour still works as far as data

goes we completely killed that venerable

port Wow now it's time to raise the

stakes this is a 32 inch TV and this

happens to be a smart TV however even

normal flat-screen TVs will typically

have a USB port so usually you plug in a

flash drive to look pictures video or

even firmware so we're gonna find out

well the USB killer be able to kill an

entire TV plug it in in three two one

oh I heard it the TV still on it's not

ticking I heard one loud click and that

was it I wonder does the USB port still

work because the TV still fine so five

out of this actually works you're not

we're completing keyboard in which might

sound like a weird thing to do however

since this is a smart TV it actually

does support a keyboard so nothing No

the see I don't even think this is

getting power well the USB Co didn't

kill the TV it did at least fry the USB

port next we have a phone now this might

seem like a little bit of a weird choice

however the 6p does have a USB C port so

plugging into the Nexus 6p in three two

one oh oh wait the phone's rebooting

holocene plug plug plug so it reset the

phone that was a really loud crack - so

everything seems to be fine on the phone

now let's see if we actually plug it in

so what I want to know is does the

port's to work so we have a PC here plug

it in okay so we are charging so at

least we have that working so we get

data yeah this is acting just like a

charger it doesn't see any kind of data

coming through on either side so it

might not have killed the phone and to

be fair you can't still charge which

honestly is by far the most important

part of being able to use a port however

the fact that we've killed data on two

different USB C devices does not bode

well this USB killer is no joke as long

as you're careful with your electronics

and don't let random people plug things

in you should be fine

however all it takes is a single second

and you can do some serious damage now

if you're really worried about this

there are USB protectors that will

actually physically lock out the ports

on your computer and I'll have one of

those links in the description however

is longer careful you should be okay

because we did do some damage today I

wanted to give back so we made a

donation to the EFS they do some

absolutely amazing work to make sure

that the internet stays open and free
