Nuke My LUKS Description

Nuke My LUKS is a network-based emergency data destruction tool designed to overwrite LUKS encryption headers with random data when triggered remotely. The tool consists of four components: client.py, server.py, generateconfig.py, and nukemyluks.sh. It operates by sending UDP broadcast messages to port 1337 containing a user-defined password with an appended tag. When the correct password is received, the system executes a script that destroys the LUKS header and shuts down the computer. The tool is intended for use by activists, human rights workers, and others who may face coercion from adversaries such as law enforcement to disclose encryption passwords. Once activated, the data becomes permanently unrecoverable, even with the correct password. Users must configure firewall rules to allow UDP broadcast messages from trusted computers running the client. The system can be repurposed to execute other shell scripts and perform different actions beyond LUKS header destruction. The tool requires careful backup management, including storing encrypted backups and original LUKS headers in secure locations before deployment.
