Project update 5 of 5

Shipped!

by Ryan Walker

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.

Last week, I shipped the big box to Mouser, and I heard today that Mouser has started shipping out to the backers! You should see your drive any day now! Please take the time to ensure your shipping address is still correct in your Crowd Supply account.

I wouldn’t be where I am without the community, and it takes a lot of hardcore badasses to support 100% open source hardware. Thank you for your support.

What’s next?

Lots. The next project coming out is a WiFi router / SBC addon board for the Flipper Zero. More on that here.

How to stay in contact? I post all updates on Discord, Email works, most projects are documented on my Youtube channel and all written content can be found on my website. If you’re on the Discord server, you won’t miss a beat. You can also catch me on IRC (libera or oftc) under the nic @machinehum.
