We’re happy to announce that, for the first time ever, BusKill cables can be purchased in-person in Leipzig, Germany.
The BusKill project has partnered with ProxyStore to make BusKill laptop kill cords finally available from a brick-and-mortar location. You can now go to the following location and purchase a BusKill cable with cash or cryptocurrency.
Bernhard-Göring-Straße 162
04277 Leipzig
Germany
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.
Watch the BusKill Explainer Video for more info youtube.com/v/qPwyoD_cQR4 |
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
ProxyStore has, among other things, a proxy ordering service where you can:
ProxyStore accepts cash in-store or anonymously via-mail (20 fiat currencies accepted), cryptocurrencies (Monero and Bitcoin), bank transfers, Paypal and more. In addition to their ordering services, ProxyStore offers key community services at its physical location in Leipzig, including high-security paper shredding (P-7/F-3), MIC-free printing, and a cabinet with TAILS for anonymous Internet surfing.
If you operate a shop selling open-source security hardware and you’d like to sell BusKill cables, please contact us about our wholesale pricing :)
Order at shop.proxysto.re or stop by in-store to purchase a BusKill cable.
Bitcoin, monero, and fiat (cash) are all accepted payment methods at ProxyStore.
Stay safe,
The BusKill Team

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Proxystore seems like a super cool place
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

Funny enough I don’t mind this ad at all 👍 extremely neat device
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.
