Guest jeand.com Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Security is one of my favorite subjects, anything related to it interests me. Having said that i wanna know if someone know how to make a USB flash drive self-destructive meaning that the flash drive will self-delete all data on it if it is plugged in a computer that its MAC address is not specified within the code. I want to add MAC address of many computers that my USB is can connect to but in case it is stolen and inserted into a computer that is not included in my safe list i want the USB to self-delete everything in it and if possible send me email containing the info about the computer in which my USB was plugged.Note: MAC address or any other way to make a safe list of a number of computers so that i can protect my data in case my flash get stolen.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 https://www.ironkey.com/personal hit buy now for sizes and price, may be best if your ultra paranoid. think about it, what if you need to use your USB somewhere unexpected like getting pictures printed that you have or something else. pain in the ass if you ask me.

Maxhedroom Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I remember reading of someone making a thermite based hdd (and building...lol) destroyer...not sure how true tho.ahh...a link..http://hackaday.com/2008/09/16/how-to-thermite-based-hard-drive-anti-forensic-destruction/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGLE Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 true crypt is still the best encryption tool !! Stable and almost "bugs free".... B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxhedroom Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The safest bet is encryption without a doubt....imo. Some enterprise SSDs with uber-strong crypto will simply delete the encryption key if messed with...making the data totally unrecoverable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
