     @GMOdysseys @toiletpaper Viruses, probably not a problem on Linux but not trying my luck, but some asshole could have wired it to kill your port

     @coolboymew @GMOdysseys @toiletpaper I wonder if there are any bulletproof USB proxy devices for just this sort of thing -- you wanna see what's on it, but it could be a physical attack device.

     Hardware-wise, I bet you could measure between pins to weed out most of the basic USB-killer designs.

     But someone could build something that looks innocent at first, then once it enumerates with a host it switches over to kill mode.

     @SirVo @coolboymew @GMOdysseys @toiletpaper I think we just invested a competition game for conferences or engineering classes:

     Split into two teams. One team builds a portable system that can survive a USB hardware attack and then when you plug in a thumbdrive you can still read what's on that. The other team builds an attack device that looks like a thumbdrive.

     Red team has it way harder, being restricted by form factor. Maybe there could be multiple weight classes, thumb drive, NVMe external, 2.5" SSD external...
