Nice of them to publish a guide for those who enjoy corrupted data :)

I particularly liked Fake capacity USB sticks. I didn't even realize that was a think. I can't even...

Oh this goes way back. The first SSD drives from Hong Kong advertised double or quadruple their capacity - you didn't find out until you tried to write the N+1th block and it overwrote the 0th block. Back in the 90's?
