what's the significance of those "squad" trips
I'm a /fucko/ regular, did I miss something?
newfag here. thanks mate
Is there a market for hard drives equipped with a small pouch (literally just enough to turn the platters to slag) of thermite and a self destruct tripwire that burns the drives if you enter the wrong startup code at the bios level?
Personally i really do have nothing to hide, my porn is embarrasing not illegal, but if there was a market worth exploiting I'd happily start selling kits or 'secure erase' drives...
1. Have a General powerswitch
2. Encrypt your hdds
3. If squad comes turn Power off
If they take the PC with them the encryption will kick in as well if you dun goof'd

Please be kind enough to give /g/ access to all your online accounts, including emails before going full meme
is tails considered the best distro for security?
>>55337683

OP has no idea
>>55334486
The only good general
>>55337208
No, because thermite is ineffective at destroying hard drives. Hard drive platters are actually unbelievably hard to destroy. They are chemically inert too, so acid/base is also an ineffective option.
>>55339079
What about EMR
>>55339115
That would basically be the same as just overwriting the hard drive normally. So yeah, pretty feasible it just takes a long time.
You could probably destroy all of the information at once if you had a magnet that was powerful enough, but very high power magnets are big, power hungry, hot and expensive.
It might be possible to fill the hard drive enclosure with some abrasive material while it is spinning to destroy the surface of the platters, but it would be really hard to control and probably also super expensive.
Zoz has also had some succes with explosives. You can view his DEF CON talk about the subject here:
