suicideCrypt is a data protection tool that creates encrypted volumes with self-destruction capabilities. The tool generates cryptographically strong encrypted volumes that automatically destroy themselves when tampering is detected or when a specific command is issued. The system includes a daemon component that monitors system events and can trigger data destruction based on configurable parameters. When activated, the destruction process executes rapidly and renders the encrypted data unrecoverable by both adversaries and the original volume owner. The tool was developed as an alternative to expensive hardware-based self-destructing drives that use custom AES chips. Instead of requiring specialized hardware, suicideCrypt provides similar functionality through software implementation, offering a more cost-effective solution for scenarios requiring assured data destruction. The destruction mechanism is designed to be auditably unrecoverable, meaning that once triggered, the data cannot be restored through any known recovery methods. This makes it suitable for environments where data must be completely eliminated under specific circumstances.
