Frying the motherboard.USB Killers are expensive though. No one's intentionally ditching those for randos to findExpensive is relative. You can find a sketchy USB Killer on AliExpress for like $6. Maybe expensive as a single throwaway device, but not very expensive to cause pure chaos to a bunch of random people.Are they? I thought they were basically just a few capacitors hooked up wrong to a USB port.Capacitors alone are not enough.Capacitors a transistor and an op-amp. Thats a couple cents of components.Still not enoughWhats missing?Inductor and diode.Why would they? Simple boost coverter costs about 0.5€.
