If you’re a surplus business that paid so much for those trays that offering them at a price people will actually pay is less than *you* paid, well them *you* were dumb for spending that much. $25~$50 a tray for a five year out of date server? Effing insane! If they want to sell them, put a price on them at which they will sell. So you get this computer for a super low price or even free, but to use it requires buying parts to be able to install drives, and surplus companies who apparently don’t actually want to sell parts expect a price for the drive caddies higher than any possible value of the computer so there’s no way to put it together and make a profit selling it. So they remove and keep or physically destroy the hard drives AND are too lazy to remove any tray, caddy or adapter cables from the drives. The most annoying thing about surplus business and government computers is the majority of the time they’re too lazy to use DBAN or other erasing software, or the rules and regs are too idiotic to allow it. (Proof read a few times, prob got something wrong… Oh well) i.e: “Becawz itza waz maaqbook!!!” (For a laugh I decided to ask, Just to waste time) then maybe not).įurther, I look down at those idiots who sell laptops with holes drilled through the screen-Mainboard-HDD-Keyboard-etc and even have a cheek to try to sell them for £100+. Though if they didn’t, they should of replaced the HDD, but that would of cost and would be cheaper to supply without and hold the HDD bay+screws down with gaffer-tape so the end user can add one if they wish.Ĭontributes less to landfill and gives the population stronger, longer-lasting laptops (Unless your business is mainly in selling laptops…. The HDD wiped (Likely with some stupid DoD software erase when a two pass dd-if-random would do) with the original OS installed asking you for name, company, password and what firewall (and spyware in the case of 10) settings. You see, I only got a Business grade (Latitude E6400 for £20) from the market at well below peasant prices because of decommissioning. Take the HDD out and gaffer-tape the cages to the decommissioned PC/Laptop Damn lazy IT personnel. Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged usb, USB killer Post navigation We have no idea what this actually means. This allows you to, “test in complete safety” (their emphasis, not ours). In addition, the USB Kill 2.0 is FCC and CE approved. Don’t think too much about how you’re going to get data off a laptop you just killed, or how you would go undetected by destroying equipment this is cool hacker stuff. This is pentesting gear, with an anonymous edition for your friend, the hacker called four chan. As with all electronic destructive devices, it’s on your Amazon recommended products list alongside tactical kilts, fingerless gloves, beard oil, and black hoodies. While a product announcement really isn’t news, it is extremely interesting to take a look at how something that should not exist is being marketed. This is your warning: never, ever plug an unknown USB thumb drive into your computer. There’s also an anonymous version that looks like every other USB thumb drive sourced from Hong Kong. It provides 1.5 times the power to your poor USB ports, with power surges twice as fast. It was a crowdfunding campaign run by a company in Hong Kong, and a few months ago this new commercial version was released. Over the years we’ve seen the USB Killer evolve from a hand-etched PCB to something less discrete but more discreet. Plug this device into your computer and -220V is dumped directly into the USB signal wires. The USB Killer is a simple device with just a FET, a few high voltage caps, a DC/DC converter, and a USB connector. A few years ago, built the USB equivalent of an RJ45 connector wired into mains power.
