Killing pc's without virus awesome

USB Tester

The USB Killer stick that made headlines last year for being a brutal death to your innocent hardware is now up for sale in its upgraded USB Killer V2.0. The killer USB, priced at $49.95, can electrocute your device with 240 volts until it dies.

We have come across USB drives that have malware hidden inside. The malware makes your device its home as soon as the USB drive is connected to your computer. The health of your computer starts degrading and it moves towards a slow death.

There are another kind of ruthless USB Killer drives which can kill your computer or any hardware device with a USB port almost instantly and that too painfully. Last year, we heard about a USB killer . Now, the USB Killer V2.0 has become powerful than ever and is available on usbkill.com at a cost of $49.95.

The USB Kill V2.0 can permanently damage any device with a USB port, e.g., a computer, laptop, DVR, television, etc. An important point to consider is that the USB Kill is not made to serve any evil intention. Instead, it’s a power surge test device that can be used by hardware developers to observe the effects of such a disastrous thing on their hardware.

USB Kill

When the USB Kill stick is connected to the USB port of a device, it charges itself using the 5V power line until the voltage value reaches 240V. It then discharges itself into the data lines of the USB port causing a power surge leading to malfunctioning of the device. The charge and discharge cycle repeats until the USB Kill is removed from the device.

Almost 95 percent of the devices couldn’t stand in front the USB Killer V2.0 during the tests, says the company. However, the latest MacBooks were the only devices which weren’t affected by the USB Killer v2.0 stick.

If you want to test your hardware but don’t want to burn your device, the company has made a USB Killer Tester which protects your hardware when the USB Kill stick is used to test its surge protection capabilities. The Tester Shield also doubles up as a data protection tech. It prevents juice jacking data thefts when your device is connected to a USB port. The is available at $13.95.

DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System.

A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...

Reason why python is best for hackers

Many people learn Python specifically just for hacking and  when I first started with Python and moving from Java to Python personally felt a lot comfortable. When I needed to write a script which was not available on the internet I had to choose between Perl  and Python. Because Perl is another very popular open source interpreted programming language. When you google you will know that Python is a more popular programming language in hacking world. When compared to Perl, the Python programs are definitely clearer, simpler, easier to write and hence more maintainable and understandable. If you are someone interested in tinkering with the information security tasks, Python is a  great language to learn because of the availability of the large number of reverse engineering and exploitation libraries for your use. Why Python ? Without developing some of the basic scripting skills, aspiring hacker will be condemned to realm of the script kiddie. This actually me...
