Cool stuff I saw in movies

[oblufire]

1. A script or program that when you press the right keys it zeros out the hard disk wipes it clean. Is it out there? Is it possible?

2. Program when someone tries to hack or break into your system it traces them back to there ip and logs or tells me that they are trying to get into my system. Opens up a chat through what looked like a telnet chat and lets me tell them off.

3. A program that lets me lock out everyone and everything from my pc unless I insert something like a memory stick that has a key part of code that unlocks the system.


Things I am already doing. My harddisk is encrypted. I did it when I installed fc9. Thank you for that addition. firewall set up. and long long passwords that are alpha numeric.

Yes, it's possible. But after pressing the right keys, you have to wait some time (hours) before that process is completed. It's not a immediate wiping in 3 seconds.....except if you are thinking to "wipe" only the LUKS or truecrypt headers (...taking just the first 1KB is much more quickly...).

that's fake :p
usually you cannot get the real IP of crackers... at least you can discover the TOR-exit node or the last proxy used... and anyway it's impossible to connect back and start a chat session (except in movies :D :p)

Well, i think it's possible maybe also with luks but i'm sot sure about the "root", because at the startup luks doesn't ask for your keyfiles (but maybe if you edit the crypttab... the main problem is that devices aren't mounted!...), but you can do it for sure for other partitions other than root (/home, swap, /somethingelse...)...

No symbols +*/-<>|!? nor extended symbols òàèìù? you can improve your passwords :p :p :D

bye! :)
