USBKill V4
USBKill V4
The USBKill 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.
The USBKill V4 caters specifically to industry needs: significantly more powerful, more flexible, more covert, and more compatible.
The included USBKill V4 Shield works detects and deflects USB Power Surge attacks, and also functions as a 'USB Condom' - protecting users from 'Juice Jacking' - data exfiltration via untrusted USB chargers.

Powerful Hardware Update
The USBKill has evolved beyond a simple plug-and-zap device. The new V4 hardware framework enables advanced functionality and performance.
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.
Advanced Attack Modes
The USBKill has evolved, and so have the ways to use it. V4 Introduces single pulse and continuous pulse attack modes. By default, the V4 will not activate until triggered - giving pentesters and LEA ultimate discretion. The V4 can be triggered in multiple ways:
- Remote Trigger: Trigger a single or continuous attack via optional dedicated remote control, up to 100m away from the device.
- 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: Triggers the instant it is plugged into a USB drive.
