A Look at Our Firmware & How to Modify It

Ovrdrive USB is an open-hardware USB flash drive with an inconspicuous enclosure and a hidden security feature tucked away inside it. If you plug the device in normally, it will appear blank, but if you quickly plug it in three times in a row, you can read and write data. We built Ovrdrive for journalists working in hostile environments, security researchers, and anyone interested in open hardware. Our campaign is nearly over, and I couldn't be happier about bringing this product to life. Thank you for your support, and please keep in mind that our price will increase slightly after the end of the campaign on Thursday. Read the full update.

I want to thank everyone who has supported this project through its growth; we wouldn't be here today without the support of this community! Read the full update.
