For the devices that stayed alive but had their ports dead (Especially the macbooks), giving them a restart would be a good idea because sometimes, computers turn off the port entirely when it notices something abnormal, and it turns it back on after a restart. Had experience with having ports screwing up on me like that, definitly my fault but, often times a restart solved it.

Count me in for an autopsy & repair video as well. I suspect some of the ports may come back to life due to thermal fuses resetting, but for e.g. the MacBook M2 I imagine the controller chip for charging got its guts blown out, as that's a common issue with 3rd-party chargers as well. The Switch probably has the charger chip destroyed as well, which just makes you wonder why they don't all have voltage clamp circuitry on the USB lines. The Z-Flip 3 clearly does, while the iPhone only seems to do fuses.

@@bobbyflaydx4062 since USB-C can also provide charging, it can be connected to same circuit as MagSafe for power delivery, so USB Killer load would spread there killing "just" charging capability which we see as "USB-C and MagSafe break". Also, Austin is wrong at the end when trying keyboard saying "there's no data either" - you don't know if there's no data, as there's no power (due to breakage) to power the dongle and said keyboard.

My Samsung Galaxy Note 5 survived a lightning strike that hit the house. The strike fried an entire circuit in the wall, the outlet on that circuit my phone charger was plugged into, the charger plugged into the Surge Protector, the cable connecting the charger to my phone, but my phone was unscathed. Other things that didn't survive that strike include: The circuit breaker for that circuit in the breaker box, the surge protector powering my PC, a toaster, the in-sink garbage disposal unit, several lamps and lightbulbs that were turned on at the time, and my step-father's iPhone 5 issued to him by the company he works for as well as the lightning charger it was plugged into. I told my step-father that it was ironic that the lighting charger couldn't handle the lightning when my Note 5 was just fine, however, so I was rooting for the Z Flip 3 to win.

Should it have been though? Isn't it like the newest product there? MBA M2 was 2022, Switch 2017, PS5 2020, Iphone SE 2022, and I don't know about the other stuff. I was surprised by the charger though, it should have had some kind of surge protection ability I would think. Or maybe the USB port of such devices just weren't shielded like that, unlike a phone, which would have those kinds of protections since it's also a charge port. Which is why the phones survived. Well the iphone SE not as much, but still.

MacBooks have the unfortunate habit of having the USB controller chips destroyed when you use third-party chargers, so I imagine the MacBook M2 at least requires that chip to be replaced.

Would love to see a follow-up & autopsy on these devices to see the actual damage.

for people interrested: The USB Killer that austin used, as well as the older versions work by charging up the capacitors using the 5 Volt supplied through the power pins of the usb and then discharging their charge through the Data pins (tho i think the newer ones actually does both) which, most of the times, are less shielded against such an attack than the power pins. Reason why they data pins are most times less shielded is because it is harder to build said shielding for said pins since most inexpensive shielding methods will effect the signal in some way or another which, as you may have guessed, is not a good thing to have on data lines (data loss may be imminent) .

I would not recommend people buy the USB killer. I got one in 2016-2017 and I've only touched it a handful of times. There are very few reasons and opportunities you're gonna come up with to fry the motherboard of a computer with the USB killer. Maybe you'll do it once or twice, at school, on an old PC, whatever. But after that you'll basically never touch it, and any reason why you might will get you in big trouble. Computers are expensive so you'll quickly reach $1,000 worth of broken electronics, which is a felony. Even without the legal trouble, you'll be hard pressed to find a reason to break it out after it's novelty wears off. Very cool device to have on a shelf though, I'm still happy I bought one.

In my case, it was probably a fuse, but it will still be expensive to repair. Stay safe everyone!
@syncshard

If this is the right USB Killer im thinking of, the reason why it can bypass so many protections is because instead of sending power back through the power pins, it sends it straight through the data pins. Some device manufacturers *have* made isolation for the data pins, but a lot have not and instead on those devices the data pins are connected straight to the motherboard and CPU, instantly frying them. Grounding the USB port probably won't work for a USB killer like this one. I know that at least some (maybe most) Apple products have the data pin isolation.

Aaaand the reason you didn't open the dongle is....? FYI it's the first USB killer with no battery. It takes the device's own power (so it must be switched on or the attack fails), massively multiplies it internally (probably via a hoomungous capacitor) and fires it right back, but across the two data lines - very nasty, and not many manufacturers can block many hundreds (maybe thousands?) of volts across two thin copper strips. Dunno how Samsung managed it, hats off to them.

They know, but they don't really implement protection circuits for usb killers specifically (usually its ESD protection instead) because people generally don't try to destroy things like this. The problem is not "shielding" which is specifically for protection against radio interference, but transient, overvoltage and overcurrent protection.

try an SMC reset on the mac's and see if that fixes the issue. Mac automatically shuts off the ports if it detects anything. you have to manually reset them.

Generally what's happening is you're sending too much amperage to charging IC's or Power IC's. We see it a lot with the galaxy line up in data recovery. Power IC's gettin replaced several times a week

Its sending tons of power into a chip and because a chip has more than a million transistors of a few nanometers those can be easily destroyed

It's a standard practice to add TVS diodes on the USB data lines to handle any ESD discharge from humans or clothing, if USB killer only outputs high voltage but low current/energy charge, the TVS should be able to handle it, they don't even cost much like 10 cents so there is no reason for any kind of computer/mobile device not to have it.
