How can we destroy computer data when we're away?

[Section 8]

I have secret files in my computer and I'm worried that one day
I may be forced to type in the password and they gain access.
Recently, the FBI annouced an extemely potent truth serum.
I'm not paranoid but wouldn't you want to keep secrets, a
secret when it can hurt your marriage? So, does anyone know
of a program that will wipe the hard drive quickly once the
wrong password is typed in?

Thanks

Try and get out and about a little more. Have a beer or two. Play with
the kids. Enjoy life before you get too old.

I spotted an ad the other day for some very cheap tickets
to paranoia. Check out this link: www.they.are.after.me.
More seriously: If you really want to destroy computer data
then put your hard disk into a smelting furnace or under a
steam roller.

Fear not. Get yourself the ultimate antiserum. Available at the same place
you buy your generic Viagra.

Wrap the house in aluminum foil and duct tape and never leave. Get rid of
the computer so there won't be any "secrets." Besides, the ultimate truth
serum will get you to reveal the secrets, not just the password.
If you do keep the computer, run all your household appliances at the same
time your computer is on so the "cable vision" van outside cannot use the
tempest project to see what secrets are on your computer screen. Watch out
for large four door cars with no visible license plates. Check all of your
electrical outlets for little cameras.
There coming to take you away. Run! RUN!!!

Here's a thought. If you want a good marriage, don't have "secrets".

Yes, its the secret Windows key sequence for instantly erasing
the harddrive. I dare not describe the keys because there are a
lot of utterly stupid people out there who would see it if it
worked.

If you don't know it, you don't have reason to know it...

I just wiped a HD and used this gem:
Darik's Boot and Nuke (http://dban.sourceforge.net/)
either use the floppy, or burn the ISO

n.b. to burn the ISO, this app, "BurnCDCC"
(http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/utilities.html) is also noteworthy. its only 180kb

best,

How can we destroy computer data when we're away?
We who? How far away?
Some web cams are set up so they can be remotely turned.
When you turn the web cam, it will knock over some dominoes,
they will make a ball roll through a tube, knock a flask of acid over
onto your computer....

On a serious note, I am sure you would not like such a feature.
Unless you never mistakes (hah!), this would wipe out your hard
drive the moment __you__ mistype your password. Not a good thing.

You might intend to enable this feature only when you are "away".
But you will have to type your password the first time when you
return.

I suspect you will get a more receptive response if you lose the
example and break your question into two parts (and separate
postings), something like:

1. How can I cause the system to execute a specified ".bat" file
after the login password is entered incorrectly N times?

2. How can I force the "format" command to run without human
intervention? For example, default all verifying prompts to
"yes" or "no", as appropriate to force the command to proceed.

With the answer to those two questions, I suspect the answer to
your original inquiry is: create a ".bat" with the appropriate
"format" commands, which is executed after the login password is
entered incorrectly N types.

Your reasons for doing this are your own business -- although by
now, someone might have reported your posting to Homeland Security,
and you are under investigation for stupidity, if nothing else ;-).

You need a Rube Goldberg device that will insert a strong magnet into the
hard drive and lay it on top of the disks. This should not take too long to
wipe them clean.

Rule #1 never put any information in a computer that you do not want some
one to see.

Rule #2 get out of the basement of the science building.

Humor aside; there is no way to do what you want. Anyone intent enough to
discover your secrets will physically remove the drive and analyze it on
another machine. Any BAT file, or program that attempts to erase the hard
drive after an incorrect password can be interrupted by an alert
spy/operator by 'pulling the plug' before the format program gets very far.
If you must keep a secret, I suggest that your read the novel 'the davinci
code'; the paper/vinegar cyber will serve your purpose.

Don't worry, we have already remotely made a backup copy of your
harddrive in the case you ever find out how to erase it.

I did the same thing to his HD,, all the hype he was spitting out made
me think he just might have something worth something, so I hacked into
his IP address, took about 5 min to get past his little firewall, and
did a copy all.

I have not had the time too look though it,, I'm thinking about just
turning it over to my bud at the local FBI office. I might even get some
kind of reward if they find something they can nail him with.

You are one paranoid sounding **** but maybe you have reason. Ok what you
need to wipe the drive quick is a strong elctro magnet in close proximity to
the drive. Run the power to the magnet through some sort of a booby trap
switch or tie it into a relay on the output of your burglar alarm. You
better not have any ****ing false alarms though if you do that. You can also
encrypt the data using pgp or similar at the strongest encryption setting
which will give you good protection even if the drive doesnt get wiped.

Hi folks,

Sorry for crossposting and thanks for some great advices. Secret files that
can destroy our marriage. How do we keep the X-files from our wife when
she serves up one strong whisky?

Now that she's just caught me with more UFO nonsense and dillusional
ramblings, she gone. :-( She finds the files under IE catch and thinks I
need help. (I hope I didn't waste anybody's time, if so, I apologize. )

Best regards,

Bill Taylor
