We're elated to see BusKill join the ranks next to CryptPad, ExifTool, KeePassXC, Whonix, Wireshark, Tor Project, Calyx, and numerous other awesome projects that have received grants from FUTO.

Iterate with us!

Want to print your own BusKill cable? We'll cover your expenses for filament, magnets, and pogo pins.

We plan to use these funds to document our 3D-Printable BusKill Dead Man Switch. And we need your help!

The BusKill project is looking for a volunteer to write the documentation describing how to print and build your own BusKill cable. The documentation will be written for our Sphinx Documentation Site in reStructuredText and pushed in git.

If you have access to a 3D-Printer, please contact us to receive funds to buy the components needed to document the build of a 3D-Printed BusKill.

What is 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.

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.

Support BusKill

We're looking forward to continuing to improve the BusKill software and looking for other avenues to distribute our hardware BusKill cable to make it more accessible this year.

If you want to help, please consider purchasing a BusKill cable for yourself or a loved one. It helps us fund further development, and you get your own BusKill cable to keep you or your loved ones safe.

Please let us know if you have any specific questions about our open-source project.

The documentation may help:

No. The first line of the canary clearly states "All good"

Status: All good
Release: 2025-06-16
Period: 2025-06-01 to 2026-05-31
Expiry: 2026-06-30

We're following the AutoCanary standard. So a possible Indication of Compromise would be Status: It's complicated, or if we didn't publish a canary before the last canary's Expiry date, or if the canary's signature was invalid.

You can check the signature to confirm its validity. For more info, see:

 

This post contains a canary message that's cryptographically signed by the official BusKill PGP release key

BusKill Canary #010
The BusKill project just published their Warrant Canary #010
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Status: All good
Release: 2025-06-16
Period: 2025-06-01 to 2026-05-31
Expiry: 2026-06-30

Statements
==========

The BusKill Team who have digitally signed this file [1]
state the following:

1. The date of issue of this canary is July 16, 2025.

2. The current BusKill Signing Key (2020.07) is

   E0AF FF57 DC00 FBE0 5635  8761 4AE2 1E19 36CE 786A

3. We positively confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the 
   integrity of our systems are sound: all our infrastructure is in our 
   control, we have not been compromised or suffered a data breach, we 
   have not disclosed any private keys, we have not introduced any 
   backdoors, and we have not been forced to modify our system to allow 
   access or information leakage to a third party in any way.

4. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements before the
   Expiry date listed above. Special note should be taken if no new
   canary is published by that time or if the list of statements changes
   without plausible explanation.

Special announcements
=====================

1. We are changing from twice-yearly to once-yearly canaries

Disclaimers and notes
=====================

This canary scheme is not infallible. Although signing the 
declaration makes it very difficult for a third party to produce 
arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force or 
other means, like blackmail or compromising the signers' laptops, to 
coerce us to produce false declarations.

The news feeds quoted below (Proof of freshness) serves to 
demonstrate that this canary could not have been created prior to the 
date stated. It shows that a series of canaries was not created in 
advance.

This declaration is merely a best effort and is provided without any 
guarantee or warranty. It is not legally binding in any way to 
anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible 
for any of the statements made here.

Proof of freshness

What is a Warrant Canary?

The BusKill team publishes cryptographically signed warrant canaries on an annual basis.

Although security is one of our top priorities, we might not be able to inform you of of a breach if served with a State-issued, secret subpoena (gag order).

The purpose of publishing these canary statements is to indicate to our users the integrity of our systems.

For more information about BusKill canaries, see:

   control, we have not been compromised or suffered a data breach, we 
   have not disclosed any private keys, we have not introduced any 
   backdoors, and we have not been forced to modify our system to allow 
   access or information leakage to a third party in any way.

4. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements before the
   Expiry date listed above. Special note should be taken if no new
   canary is published by that time or if the list of statements changes
   without plausible explanation.

Special announcements
=====================

1. We are changing from twice-yearly to once-yearly canaries

Disclaimers and notes
=====================

This canary scheme is not infallible. Although signing the 
declaration makes it very difficult for a third party to produce 
arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force or 
other means, like blackmail or compromising the signers' laptops, to 
coerce us to produce false declarations.

The news feeds quoted below (Proof of freshness) serves to 
demonstrate that this canary could not have been created prior to the 
date stated. It shows that a series of canaries was not created in 
advance.

This declaration is merely a best effort and is provided without any 
guarantee or warranty. It is not legally binding in any way to 
anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible 
for any of the statements made here.

Proof of freshness

What is a Warrant Canary?

The BusKill team publishes cryptographically signed warrant canaries on an annual basis.

Although security is one of our top priorities, we might not be able to inform you of of a breach if served with a State-issued, secret subpoena (gag order).

The purpose of publishing these canary statements is to indicate to our users the integrity of our systems.

For more information about BusKill canaries, see:

What is 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.

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.

Thanks. Fixed it :)

I'll add this to the top next time, thanks.

What is a Warrant Canary?

The BusKill team publishes cryptographically signed warrant canaries on a biannual basis.

You might want to include a short explanation for community members who aren’t familiar with warrant canaries

Thank you for the feedback. The second line of this post contains the text:

For more information about BusKill canaries, see:

That link explains everything. Are you suggesting that we copy and paste the contents of that link into the post directly? Or maybe just the first 3 sentences?

It was asking whether some change has taken place; some cause for alarm.

If you want a very, very quick way to glance at the canary and determine this, see the Status on the first line of the signed message. In this case, it says

Status: All good

And I think #3 and #4 below that explain the canary clearly. We took this format from best-practice standards of other warrant canaries to be both human- and machine-readable.

  1. We positively confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the integrity of our systems are sound: all our infrastructure is in our control, we have not been compromised or suffered a data breach, we have not disclosed any private keys, we have not introduced any backdoors, and we have not been forced to modify our system to allow access or information leakage to a third party in any way.

  2. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements before the Expiry date listed above. Special note should be taken if no new canary is published by that time or if the list of statements changes without plausible explanation.

Is there any other changes that you recommend we make to the signed message to make it clearer that this is a "good" canary?

[–] buskill@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

Sorry, I don't agree with this.

Warrant canaries are most noteworthy when they're not published. The only way to know that it's not published is to -- publish it. Widely. And routinely. We publish our warrant canaries twice per year.

This canary expires 2025-06-30. If you don't see a new canary published by that date, then you should be concerned.

You do a diff of this canary and our last canaries here:

  1. Sorry, I don't understand your question. It's a warrant canary. Can you please be more specific?
  2. This one has a magnetic breakaway in the middle. We sell it for convenience -- to make this tool more accessible to folks with little time or technical literacy (eg journalists, whistleblowers, etc)

Yes, you can make your own cable. We have instructions for this in our documentation:
