Lynx flash drive hack

Lynx flash drive hack
I have seen a lot of hidden flash storage mods...so i decided to do my own. Have you ever wanted to be like a spy? Did you ever want to give your friend some secret information without attracting a lot of attention? Well now you can! with the flash drive deodorant can!

What you will need:

A flash drive (any capacity, its up to you)

Masking tape, or any other paper-based tape with reasonable strength

A lynx click can (has to be a click can and not an old style lynx can)

An a usb to usb adaptor (or a usb to whatever you want adaptor)

some sort of knife or puncturing or cutting tool

cotton balls

I'm 17, a little bit eccentric and I absolutely love gadgets. Constructing odd and rather impractical things is a small hobby of mine.
