What does /g/ think about USB dead drops?

rain and shit.

>>58242644
but I guess that for a few days it works, until someone tells the cops or some smart kids pull it off or break it with a hammer.

>>58242522
depends on your opinion of gay public toilette gloryholes.

dumb

is the point of these to download stuff from them or do people put viruses on them to mess with people?

Consider. What's to stop people cementing usb killers into walls and uploading the location to usb drop maps. Nothing. Anyone using them is a fool.

Idea is neat and kind of cyberpunk. I've never ran into one, though. Also /g/ kinda ruined them for me by stating all the obvious dangers, including the plug just sending out a bunch of power and toasting your computer.

>>58242522
I wouldn't use one, specially when they are stuck in the wall like that and you don't really know what's attached to the tiny little USB interface you do see.

its fancy nerd geocaching

which is also dumb

>>58242707
They're supposed to be sites to upload and download stuff anonymously. but I've heard of people putting viruses on them

can't wait to make one of these and put gentoo distro on it. I'll also include a text file that includes my name and email so whoever installs my gentoo can become best friends with me.

>>58242522
Seems like a great way to spread malware to idiots dumb enough to use it.

would be interesting to stick an usb killer on a wall I guess

>>58242718
Apparently there are ways around the USB killers. Just have the testing shield plugged in before using an unknown device.

>>58242716
The Internet is dangerous itself though, since there is also nothing preventing the distribution of malware. People can learn pretty quickly which drops are safe and which are sketchy.

can't wait until someone attaches a 20kV rapid charge/discharge capacitor circuit to it and fucking ruins some lamebrains hardware

>>58243116
yeah, they're called usb killers like >>58243029
suggested - although that's just a fancy new term for it.
back in the old days, we used etherjacks.

>>58243140
what is an etherjack?

That's not a tech drop. It's a tech gloryhole.

>>58243209
usb killers have been around for a long time, it's just that the mainstream internet has finally caught wind of them by some marketing who's first created a threat and the demand for protection from it, and then started making and advertising protection circuits for them.

>>58243209
That's not a "USB killer killer". It's actually used for testing if a USB killer works. If you cross the wires on a tester while it's plugged into the computer and the USB device and it sparks, it means that the USB device will fry the computer.

>>58243232
create a demand, then make product to satisfy that market is literally the first lesson in marketing, which in a good marketing course follows the severe beating you should get for thinking that marketing is a valid career choice

>>58243232
That's some pretty genius marketing.

>>58243268
see >>58243260

>>58243209
what does that picture say?

>>58243282
I think it's a jew.

For anyone in the OC, I planted a USB drop in Brea yesterday. It comes preloaded with an episode of Drake and Josh ("The Dare") just for shits and giggles.

>>58243271
I know. We posted at the same time.

>>58243260
>severe beating you should get for thinking that marketing is a valid career choice
amen

>>58242522
Why not use orange PI zero and expose the power port and download files over wifi? You could probably kill it with the USB killer though.

>>58243282
if you're colorblind, just load it up in a picture editor and fuck with the hue until you can see shapes

that one doesn't say anything, it's just a silhouette of a merry salesperson

>>58242522
I saw just one dead drop that wasn't clogged with gum back in 2010 iirc (but I live in a slavcity so it might be different in the 1st world)

plugged in a crappy netbook I hated anyway

there were some txts with darkweb and conspiracy crap, some child porn, and a pirated game infected with malware.

do you know if there is any USB drive hide in the Seattle area

>>58243052
>there is also nothing preventing the distribution of malware.

I hope you are fucking kidding

>>58242690
>Retard with a overpriced "attach raw voltage to a USB connector"
>USB is a standard with no serge protection
>herh-derp what will happen if I stick this into iPhone, Laptop, Phone (all of them are computers)
What did this retard expect?

>>58242522
It's cool if you don't do it the dipshit way and actually stick it in a wall or somewhere else it can get rained on.

The smart thing to do would be to put it in a plastic bag and hide it somewhere in a park then only tell people you trust where it is.

Also pirateboxes exist so why bother?

>>58243232
People need to be officially retarded not knowing how to make a USB or whatever electric killer.

simply cut the cable and get the voltage ends into some power.

Like this
>>58243202
or this
>>58243190

MAKES THE THING LOOK 10^10 TIMES MORE HACKERISH LOOKING.

There are a few. I'll post the ones still listed as working.

>>58243634
yeah, there's a certain aestetic to authentic hacker work that you just don't get with prefabricated nonsense for the masses
that said, usb killers are a mainstream threat now, as they're being sold by plenty of companies on the internet, so you don't need to make it yourself.

>>58243463
Sorry, I meant uploading malware. Protection or not, it's still out there, and protection can't always work.

>>58243710
Fucken plebs ruining everything.
Back in the day you needed 2 brain cells to make a USB killer now the retards get it from shops.

>>58242522
The idea sounded retarded the first time.
Its OK if you are exchanging drives with people who you know or who are trusted.
This:
>World needs connecting
Retardation was bad
>Oh let me go walk somewhere with my computer to plug it into some crap wall USB stick.
It:
>waists time (you need to go there)
>is ineffective (you never know what is on it)
>and all you find is child porn
>Enjoy your party van since the cops where watching (street cameras) who will plug their computer to this.
Enjoy your government watch list and
child porn/virus/botnet/USB killer

Sounds like a nice way to share CP relatively safe from prying eyes.
By CP I mean computer programa btw.

>>58243872
Only if you are retarded.

>>58243515
Didn't know about those. Thanks, anon! Now I have a new project.

Are you actually supposed to be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask while using these?

>>58244526
It's recommended.

>>58242829
Its called youre not a retard and you
1.are using a burner computer with no HDD
2.have it running off a live CD image
3.If a cheap burner isnt available get a good external usb hub to isolate your pc from actually connecting to a potential usb killer
4.Run forsenics on your machine after you are done to make sure you are fine
