It must exist somewhere. And for the magnetic gimmick, any magnetic usb (which, btw, are actually pretty useful) cable from amazon would do the trick.
- pph 5y agoThat is pretty much what Tails is doing: If you disconnect the USB drive with the system, it will wipe the RAM and then shut down. However the data on the USB drive isn't modified, so if you don't trust its encryption you should prepare for quick physical destruction and/or disposal.
- maltfield 5y agoHi pjerem, Michael Altfield here (founder of the BusKill project). The problem is that there are no USB-A magnetic breakaways available on Amazon. If there were, then I wouldn't have launched this campaign! * https://buskill.in/buy https://buskill.in/buy Actually, Amazon did have USB-A magnetic breakaway components before, but they went EOL and sold-out when I first published my DIY article on how to build-your-own-BusKill-cable last year. * https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2020/01/02/buskill-laptop-kill-cord-dead-man-switch/ https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2020/01/02/buskill-laptop-k... The reason I started making my own was a response to all the folks that asked me how they could get a USB-A BusKill cable since they sold-out (and they also were never available in Europe -- now they are!).
