USB armory is an open source hardware design for a compact secure computer built into a USB stick form factor, based on ARM SoCs. This repository hosts the hardware design files and developer documentation for the Mk I and Mk II board models.
Use cases
- build a portable secure computing device on a USB stick
- run a private Linux environment on untrusted hosts
- develop embedded security tooling on open hardware
- use a compact headless ARM computer for pentesting
- experiment with open source hardware board designs
- carry an encrypted personal server in a pocket
When to choose
- you need open hardware with published schematics and CERN OHL licensing
- you want a tiny ARM computer that powers from a USB port
- you need a trusted portable environment for security work
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose desktop with graphics and peripherals
- you want a ready-made consumer product rather than a developer board
- you need high compute power or GPU workloads
