Talk about stealth, this guy has made his own DIY USB keylogger, which is actually USB keyboard adapter with a PIC microcontroller “inside” it as its brains.
Of course, keylogging is probably not legal to do unless you have a good reason like you are an FBI agent spying on suspects/terrorists.
Regardless, knowing how one can make a DIY USB keylogger that is also super-stealth is good to know for your own security that there are smart people out there who can
Your bike has no cigarette adapter so you can get a USB charger and recharger your gadgets?
No problem, you can build yourself a USB bike generator that actually uses a USB charger hooked up to your bike so it will charger your gadgets whil
For those of you who swear you can’t stop swearing in front of your kids, friends, and colleagues, you will need one of these DIY USB pepper mouth to shut your mouth up!
Now, I would like to see a brain-reading device with the same features. Umm… maybe like this brain-shocking device, no?
“Pepper Mouth” is a usb device that releases bad smells as the result
For those of you running highly-intensive game servers or even web servers, here’s a really interesting device that will let you monitor CPU, hard drive, memory, and network usage through an analog meter. Of course, I don’t think it would be too hard to add a digital LCD instead, probably even more accurate that way.
This is a fantastic project for anyone who wants to build one, there’s free C# code and schematics provided.
The USB Performance monitor is a PIC18F2550 based
For those of you who have really, OLD computers and you want to boot your new USB OS and your computer/laptop doesn’t support it, you can install PLOP boot manager, which will act as a secondary boot manager so you can boot your USB stick.
PLoP provides different ways to boot into PLoP boot manager including Windows and Linux systems.
The PLoP Boot Manager is a small program to boot different operating systems. You can boot the operating systems from harddisk
Here’s a clever hack that can turn your old USB flash drive into a new one by inserting it in a USB cable. I personally have a bunch of USB flash drives where the chain has broken off, this hack will help me revive those into my keychain again.
The casing of the USB drive started to crack at some places, so I was planing to make a case replacement anyway. It doesn’t matter really how you put the circuit board out, as long as it’s intact for transplant. Also, verify the length and width of the circuit board to make sure it fits inside the USB connector.
Do you have old desktop PCs/computers laying around your house and it gets super hot where you live? Well, you don’t have to buy a USB fan, you can make one from those ol’ PC fans.
You probably also have some old USB wires laying around. Just cut them off, wire them to the PC fan (refer here for USB pinout) using pin 1 (5V) and pin 4 (GND), voila!
You have a working PC fan. Of course, if you want to get more technical, you can probably add a
Here’s an awesome NES hack that involves a retro-NES controller hacked as an NES USB Flash drive, also with added NES security that can only be unlocked using the NES controller itself, how brilliant!
At first, I simply wanted to turn the controller into a flash drive and be one of the thousands of videos and blogs of people turning everyday objects into external memory, but ever since I got my first arduino working, I’ve been itching to do something different. I thought, wouldn’t it be cool to add a s
Here’s a cool DIY on how to make a USB device with a PIC via .
They also have a simple howto on making a USB thermometer to get you started right. The code looks pretty simple for anyone with prior PIC experience. You could probably use this for
