-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi today I read this post by the developers of Kali Linux: http://www.kali.org/how-to/emergency-self-destruction-luks-kali/ I think, this is a really great feature and should be officially added to the cryptsetup source. So I wrote Milan and he told me, that there would be no additional security, because an "attacker will simple first backup header and then use this (or will use key from memory if device is mounted)." He also told me to move the discussion to the mailinglist and if we would find some valuable use case, they would think about it. So now I'm here In my opinion, a valuable use case would be the following case: If you got the possibility to access your computer for a few seconds, before an attacker does, you simply could enter your nuke password and delete the luks header. This would be much faster, than entering your real password, booting your system and deleting the header, using the system's tools Are there any other ideas of valuable use cases? greets R3s1stanc3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF4EAREKAAYFAlLLGcQACgkQUaCkMJCt6r7pMAD/ahtaUWTCmuw4Q8QwdlpD/dZM SSDgTw2U/fM6mZH618AA/0MuHeitb94r+mNVFniPBiKVz53ZtoguFXnXsczx7Qs4 =f/OJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
