Editorial narrative

The USB Kill is a device that stress tests hardware. When plugged in power is taken from the USB power lines, multiplied, and discharged into the data lines, typically disabling an unprotected device. Used by penetration testers, hardware manufacturers, law enforcement, and industrial clients worldwide, the USBKill has been adopted the industry standard for USB Stress-testing. Aside from more powerful discharges and improved stability, the V4 has an internal, rechargeable battery, which allows for “Offline Attacks” – where the host device is not turned on. “Offline Mode” also bypasses all known USB-C and Lightning (Apple/iPhone) security protocols, rendering the V4 the ultimate device for testing smartphones and modern hardware. Additional modes and triggers: – Single pulse or continuous pulse – Smartphone trigger – Control and trigger single or continuous attacks via the included Android smartphone app. – Timed attack – Schedule a date and time when the USBKill will trigger. The V4 can stay dormant without power for over 200 days. – Magnetic trigger – Trigger the USBKill with a magnet (stylish and covert magnetic ring included) bypassing your hand over the device. – Classic mode – insert and triggers immediately – Remote trigger – Trigger a single or continuous attack via optional dedicated remote control, up to 100m away from the device. Basic Adapter Kit includes: Adapters for USB-C, Lightning, MicroUSB, MiniUSB, and USB-A Female. Advanced Adapter Kit includes: Adapters for USB-B Male, USB-B Female, VGA (DB15), HDMI Male, HDMI Female-Female, DisplayPort Male, DisplayPort Female-Female, RJ45 Male, and RJ-45 Female.
