looking for a self destruct code for backtrack basically if you enter the password wrong more than 3 times it will wipe the hdd its on ( i use vmware pls keep that in mind i also have that on a encrypted disk that i plan to encrypt the bt portion as well but id like the added safety of a wipe command that will just auto run ... any clue's? i know its possible i have seen a section on hack 5 about it but cannot find the full video
well you need to code something in ASM (assembly) or C that you order the processor "hey erase the disk" or maybe something simple in bash like "if [attempts == 3]; then; dd=if/dev/urandom dd=of/dev/sdaX
