The Killer USB, Building a Killer USB, A guy thinking he knows what hes doing and fucking it up. If any of the above statements peaked your interest, this may be the talk for you. Much has been said in the media as of late for the Killer USB, much of that content is the same as can be found on the websites selling or blogging about them, and yet, there has been no research done on the subject. This makes a nice spot for me to come in, with my magical bag of good tidings and no knowledge of electrical engineering, I embarked on the search for the Killer USB. So come join me for a tale of magic smoke, near electrocutions and many many dead motherboards.
