The Test Setup: Our objective was straightforward yet critical: assess the resilience of the iPhone 15's USB data port against USB power surge attacks. For this, we employed the USBKill V4 Professional, a tool renowned in penetration testing circles for its effectiveness in simulating power surge attacks on USB ports.
Unexpected Results: Contrary to expectations, while the iPhone 15 withstood the power surge, its USB data port succumbed to the attack. Interestingly, the device's charging capabilities remained intact. This outcome opens a new discussion about the robustness of current smartphone designs against unconventional security threats.
Implications for Security Professionals: These findings are crucial for red teamers and pentesters. They highlight a potential security loophole in one of the most widely used smartphones. The test underscores the need for comprehensive security strategies that consider physical vulnerabilities alongside software and network weaknesses.
Conclusion: Our test with the USBKill V4 on the iPhone 15 is a small yet significant step in understanding the comprehensive security landscape of modern devices. For red teamers, pentesters, and security professionals, it's a reminder of the ever-present need to evolve and adapt in the face of new vulnerabilities.

The Mid-Autumn Festival began as early as 3000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty. While it has certainly evolved over the years, this festival remains at the root of Chinese culture. One of the most sought after treats during the Mid-Autumn Festival is the moon cake, or yuebing (月饼). Moon cakes are a sweet pastry made from wheat or rice flour and sugar. They are often filled with watermelon seed paste, red bean paste, or lotus seed paste for flavor and texture. Moon cakes vary in design and flavor depending on which region you are in.
It is also a holiday when the family members getting together which is similar to Spring Festival. People go back to their hometown meeting their parents, sisters and brothers. At night they will have a nice dinner and enjoy the great moonlight view outside while eating moon cakes.
We wish you all a great mid-automn Festial!

]]>The Mac Mini M1 is famous for being super powerful and very tiny.
This video is a little longer than usual cos the mac mini M1 is kinda built like a tank :)
There are 4 USB ports (so 4 different vectors of attack) 2 standard USB and 2 USB Type-C.
We started to test the 2 standard ports. Both were permanently disabled, it seems that the 2 standard ports are independent of each other and are not sharing the same controller. Also when each port was grilled the electricity from the USBKiller was not going further, I mean the motherboard was not compromised.
The port just died and it stopped the power surge to go deeper and affect anything else. The USB type C port wasn't that efficient to stop the USB power surge from the USBKiller.
When tested, the continuous charge seemed to affect more components (each 'click' sound heard while performing a test is most probably a component blowing up).
The video card is definitely affected and even if the Mac mini M1 from apple was still able to boot and stay on, no video signal except random glitches appeared making the Mac mini M1 vulnerable to the USBKill V4 (USB ports permanently disabled, and video card permanently disabled).
Thank you for watching and we hope to see you next time for another test. Stay safe and don't forget to subscribe to the channel.

]]>In our first batch of tests you can see the Razor One, The Razor Model T, the Ledger nano S and the Ledger nano X.
Are those hardware solid as their encryption?
In our first batch of test, we used the USBKill V4 Pro Kit and all cryptowallets failed immediately against a USB Power Surge Attack.
A destroyed cryptowallet means losing access to your crypto assets - potentially a financial disaster.
See the results of which devices pass, and which fail:
Trezor Model T
Ledger Nano S
Trezor One
Ledger Nano X
We recommend keeping your cryptowallet in a physical safe.
Stay safe - and check our our fully updated USBKill Test Results page.

]]>Yubi Key Two Factor Authentication is becoming ubiquitous - and as we migrate away from unsafe 2FA practices such as SMS and email, Hardware 2FA Tokens are becoming more and more important.
How robust are hardware 2FA Tokens? When your digital life is on a single key - you want to know that it can't be erased by third parties. Alternatively, is a USBKill + YubiKey the perfect team for a secure self-destruct policy for truly sensitive information?
This is the first in a series on the USBKill vs. Hardware Tokens.
Stay tune for more !

We used the V4 Professional teamed with the USB-C and Lightning adaptors, wirelessly configured with smartphone trigger to send continuous pulses.
See the full video after the break.
]]>To demonstrate this functionality, we put the USBKill V4 Professional against the current flagship mobile devices: the iPhone 11 and Samsung S20.
We used the V4 Professional teamed with the USB-C and Lightning adaptors, wirelessly configured with smartphone trigger to send continuous pulses.
As you can see below, both devices are vulnerable. The S20 was instantly disabled - the iPhone provides substantial resistance, but eventually fell into an unrecoverable bootloop.
The USBKill V4 Pro Kit is available now.

After weeks of waiting, the USBKill V4 is available for purchase - we are in stock and shipping now.
European customers can also purchase from our official reseller, Lab401.com
We have also updated our Official USBKill YouTube Channel with new How-to and demonstration videos for all of the products.
