Palioxis-Linux self-destruction utility.

Palioxis - Linux "kill-switch" utility

Palioxis was the Greek personification of the backrush or retreat from battle. It seems fitting in the scenarios that would surround the needed use of this script.

This project has not been maintained in quite some time and I cannot recommend it's use at all. Please don't run it :)

• Do not use this as a serious application or means of privacy/security. Palioxis is not production ready and there is the potential for data loss, security flaws, and other unknown issues.

Documentation

Running in 'Server' mode:

usage: ./palioxis.py --mode server --host 127.0.0.1 --port 44524 --key OHSNAP

This will start Palioxis as a server, meaning it will listen on the given host and port for the 'destroy key'. Once received, it will proceed to shred the specified files and truecrypt drives.

Once the server starts, it will run in the background as a daemon process until you either reboot or kill the process.

Note: It's good idea to run the Palioxis server as system service

Running in 'Client' mode:

usage: ./palioxis.py --mode client --list /etc/palioxis/nodes.txt

This will start Palioxis as the master client. It will read server hosts from the file specified with the --list argument and attempt to send the kill signal to each of these hosts that are running another Palioxis instance.

Example server list file:

This is an example of the nodes.txt file from the usage case above:

192.168.56.102 44524 OHSNAP
192.168.56.104 44524 FREEDOM
192.168.56.105 44524 L33T
