Preventing "USB Kill" #64

Closed Lvl4Sword closed 3 years ago

Lvl4Sword commented 3 years ago

USB Kill ( https://usbkill.com/ - not afilliated ) is something that charges from the USB port and sends this electricity back into the port.

lsusb -v will show you Per-port overcurrent protection if a port can prevent this. But having had not done any testing whatsoever with a system that has this, no clue if this type of detection can be trusted.

Testing will need to be done and it would need to happen on a system that could potentially be destroyed. So, not any time soon unless someone wants to donate.

This is outside of the scope of Killer. If your system lacks Per-port overcurrent protection, that's a shame.
