Linux live USB, plug the drive into a sacrificial hub that can eat a bus kill if needed
A what that can eat a what?
I think something to protect against this https://usbkill.com/products/usbkill-v4
They mean the USB bus. But killing the bus is a driver-level thing that the kernel controls, not the user. You can disable the port with CLI commands or a GUI depending on the OS, but killing the bus requires uninstall of the driver or manually shorting the caps directly on the mainboard, which is dumb.
Thank you!
