How to Make a Instant Computer Crashing Usb

with this you will learn how to make a USB flash drive that, when inserted will hardcrash a computer instantly.

what you need:
soldering iron, solder, usb drive (size doesn't matter, but smaller is cheaper), small piece of rainbow wire

alt method: substitue usb flash drive for the end of a usb cable

sorry for bad image quality
, had to use phone cam

note:
will not work on some computers, such as the mac book and hp dv6000

DISCLAIMER: (stop commenting about it now)
THIS MAY DAMAGE YOUR USB PORT
THIS MAY ALSO DAMAGE YOUR MoBo

this could permanently damage usb ports also <<true
It burns out the USB power ship on the mobo, rendering it, and the entire computer, useless. << soemtimes
I bet the author is like that stupid kid from that TV advert that tries to jam his scooter in the dishwasher. No consideration for other's property. Destroys peoples stuff and then runs off to play with his action figures or something without a care?<< false

Step 1: Opening Your Flash Drive

there are a few ways to do this, most involve popping the casing apart at the middle seam, but it will vary with each drive, tinker around untill you get it apart. but remember you need to put it together later

alt method: cut off cable an inch from USB connector on cable


story:
i actually stubled upon this while trying to make a usb phone charger, and ended up crossing my power wires once and the computer instantly crashed.

(pics soon)

Step 2: Solder Power Pins

locate the 4 pins going from the USB conector onto the circuit board,
then cut off and strip the ends of a piece of rainbow wire that will fit between these 2 pins (should be less than a cm long)
solder ends of wire onto ends of pins

alt method: there should be 4 wires inside,
the black will be ground and red should be positive, check each against the black wire with a voltmeter just in case(look for the combo that gives 5 volts)
cut all exept your 2 wires off, solder the 2 wires together

Step 3: Put It Back Together

put the case back on the flash drive, this might take some tape, or if you just destroyed the case completely in step 1, just wrap the exposed circuit board with electric tape.

alt method: cover the end of the cable with electric tape or heat shrink tubing, (leave no wires exposed)

Step 4: Plug It In

now when you plug this in to a computer it should cause the power pins on the usb port to short, causing a huge draw of power, either overloading the rail on the powersupply or causing the bios to force a shutdown.
(wont directly damage computer, but using too many times might, also any time there is an unexpected shutdown or powerloss you risk hard drive corruption)
