Aug 27 2008Hacked! USB Drive Will Befuddle Onlookers!
The Hacked! USB Drive is actually a 2GB flash drive that just looks like a frayed USB cable. ZOMG, people will look at that and be so confused! The only thing that could make it better is if, instead of a frayed USB cable, it was a real severed arm complete with tattoos and 4GB of storage. Imagine the looks you'd get with that hanging out the side of your laptop! Looks like "OMG, I'm calling the police!" and "bitchin' ink." Or, from the zombies, "I want a byte."

if it had at least 16GB it would be way cooler

I made one like that, but it wasn't frayed.

I saw this on make.com (or somewhere) a couple of years ago illustrating how to make one of these. It's a prettty simple DIY project for less than $10 (assuming you find a 2GB drive for that price and use an old USB cable you have lying around). I think $49.99 is outrageous.

this is the kind of product that has no place in the legit business office, yet would be perfectly at home in a geeks home office, to hide the porn from the wife. it has it's place, that's for sure, but i wouldn't be caught using it on my laptop, in public, at the airport, in plain view. that'd tell everyone that it's a secret porn storage device.

Just got to hope some busy body doesn't chuck it out thinking its rubbish.
