KairosThis person should also turn off their computer and remove the RAM so itâs zeroed out if it gets siezed.
This is where I think NFC may finally be useful. If cops show up, I slide my phone by a hidden NFC tag, and an http request is sent to my desktop machine. Everything incriminating is wiped and the computer is turned off, before the cops can walk to the room.
Unless you have tied the NFC to an arc wielding torch how would proper data disposal process runs its course fast enough? You live in a manor with very long hallways?
Most of really nasty data is text or a few questionable apps, and should take very little time. Video and audio present a problem, but I think they can be speedily wiped by nuking the metadata parts, making recovery and identification difficult. Not sure how resilient modern formats are to data loss, but afaik e.g. AVI is quite reliant on the description of the stream (which iirc is inconveniently placed at the end of the file).
Nha my dude youâre lying to yourself if you think that it is nearly enough to survive the level of forensics that will happen in case of a motivated investigation.
You need the whole multipass erasure and overwriting or youâre toast. It takes hoursâŚ
First of all, it doesnât take hours to overwrite several text files and a few binaries. Second of all, I think I know better what my local cops would do. Itâs not NSA or Interpol. Lastly, this hypothetical obviously excludes stuff after which âmotivated investigationâ might come. That kind of data lives in encrypted files tucked in odd places.
Erh well, it takes hours with proper tooling with which I have first hand experience⌠and just as much experience with various police forces⌠admittedly my knowledge is limited to Europe and LA on that topic.
For reference I saw them deploy very serious means for stuff from csam to piracy so be careful on how you perceive their willing to be major annoyances.
But hey, this is my work experience I offer, you donât take it itâs not an issue; Iâm not invoicing my time anyway :)
Around here, cops are nasty but not very brainy, hi-tek, or invested. They will be annoying in more brute ways. The goal is just to not give them too much material to go off, so they find someone else whoâs easier to pester.
