That's were strong encryption might work, along with enough entropy to claim that this is random data, and not just encrypted files. I heard, but haven't checked myself, that the "truecrypt"-suite offers something meeting this requirements. > A strong magnetic field close to the hard drive will completely destroy > the data making it impossible to recover.

Come on, that's just a idea directly from the game "Uplink". You know any of those "movie-grade"-demagnetisers? You might want to check Powerlab's can-crusher[1] though, just for the fun of it ;-) > I have not run a tor server, so I do not know the exact requirements. > Can it be done from a ram drive? It could, but you'd need to make sure it doesn't swap/page down to disk, which would be bad. > Explosives and incendiaries are a poor choice for obvious reasons.
