While true, the penalty for doing this may be much less than the penalty that would be imposed if the data is sufficiently embarrassing. Kurt On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 14:01, Craig S Wright <craig.wright () information-defense com> wrote:
The intentional destruction of evidence is a crime. US law varies by state, but as an example, Australian federal law and Victorian state law would make this a criminal act that would itself be punished and also result in an instruction for the jury to treat the now unaccessable evidence as holding definstive proof of what you are being checked for in the first place. Your strategy makes you a criminal. It does not gain any benifit. Regards, Dr. Craig S Wright LLM. GSE-Malware...

Seems like the case is bound to set a precedent in the interpretation of this law. Any which ways it would be worthwhile to observe whether the US courts follow a similar course of action as their UK counterparts.two factor authentication with micro-sd memory card that you preserve all the time with you, and can be eated when you feel angry, or can be incinerated if you smoke it on a cigar, or simply drop it. this sd memory card will contain bootstrap and encrypted key for two-factor cypher. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Cigar_tube_and_cutter.jpg (Over 200 celsius degrees!!!) Then, the hardrive will only contain: RANDOM DATA. This is plausible?, this could be insulting for the judge, but, you must allegate that before the raid, you do an "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sda1" for a mantainance pourporse from a live cd... (i really didit before sell my harddrive to prevent credit card and other private info leakeage). Look at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/jan/08/hard-drive-security-which This is plausible. You didn't consider your hard-drive as evidence before the judge starts, because you never didit anything barely legal.------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: InfoSec Institute Find the source of cybercrime!
