Me, a person with no real use for this product but still interested: "Wow this is a great idea! I'll investigate!"
Me, a clumsy person watching the video: "Oh no,"
In all seriousness though, I can see how this product could be useful to someone in very specific circumstances and is also an interesting idea.
- MonaroVXR 5y agoWhat about Uber that did this kill switch thing and could immediately "hide" the data?
- maltfield 5y agoBusKill does not ship with destructive triggers. The current app is limited to locking your screen. Future releases will include soft/hard shutdown. So, by default, your clumsiness would just mean you have to type your password to unlock your screen. Not a big compromise :) We do have a "LUKS Header Shredder" trigger (which we call self-destruct as it renders all the data on the FDE disk useless), but we (intentionally) don't include it by default and raise the barrier of entry because of the risk of data loss. We'll be publishing a more detailed write-up on the LUKS Header Shredder in 2 weeks. You can subscribe for updates on our website (buskill.in) or the campaign directly (crowdsupply.com)

- bob-4 5y agoMight be a good idea to remove "self-destruct" from the front page your marketing if it's not intended for the masses. Or at the very least, explain that it's not a default behavior. While you were able to explain that here, others will be hesitant to adopt without the context.
