About BusKill

BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It’s a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.

What is BusKill? (Explainer Video)

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys – thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device

It’s run by the folks at dys2p.

Besides running ProxyStore in Leipzig, they have published some pretty great articles:

You can follow them on Mastodon here https://chaos.social/@dys2p

Alternately, any USB device can become a kill switch with this Python script:

Yes BusKill works similarly – any USB drive can use the BusKill software

The BusKill cable is just nice because it includes a magnetic breakaway, so it works when the laptop is snatched-away at any angle. There’s actually a ton of anti-forensics software like usbkill and BusKill; we enumerate them all on our documentation’s Similar Projects section

Honestly feels more like an announcement than an ad. The post body has tons of info, OP is responding in the comments, there’s more than one link in the post and it’s not just ‘buy this crap!’

Yeah, I dig it too.

So many privacy innovations come out of Germany, this is cool to see.

Where can i see a demonstration of someone actually wearing it, instead of just seeing the cable removed and the screen locked out?

I made a video of this (demo in Windows, MacOS, Linux, TAILS, and QubesOS) with the old DIY model here (sorry for the terrible audio quality)

We’re currently working on an updated video with someone who is much better at video production than me; it should be finished in early 2024.

I bet Dread Pirate Roberts wishes he’d had one of these back in that library…

To be fair, by the time they nabbed him in the library he was already done. Even if the laptop had closed, they would have found something to use. The process is the punishment.

He should have never been in there in the first place, such a shame.
