One must strike a balance between the consequences of killing everything on a false alarm and the consequences of delaying a bit when really needed. I'll make this configurable in the next version so each user can make the decision for his or herself.

You need to document what the dead man's switch does on the readme. I had to go read the source to understand what it does. Also, frankly, trying to shut down the VMs gracefully is a life-dooming mistake. Kill them using low-level xl commands or qvm-kill, then proceed to memory wipe. -- Rudd-O http://rudd-o.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] [code] Testers wanted: Bluetooth dead man's switch
Hello, I have made proper RPMs out of the dead man's switch code posted to the list a few years back. The code can be found here: https://github.com/kbrn/qubes-app-dms. Pre-built RPMs are attached. These packages have already been tested on my machine and Work for Me™. The code comes in three packages: -qubes-app-dms: for Dom0, contains the core files for dead man's switch action -qubes-app-dms-timeout: for Dom0, contains files and config necessary to trigger the dead man's switch after (by default) 2h of a locked screen -qubes-app-dms-bluetooth: for a TemplateVM, configured inside AppVM, contains files and config necessary to trigger the dead man's switch by absence of a specific previously-seen Bluetooth device. These both need configuration post-install. See the README.md for more information. Patches for .deb building or other dead man's switch triggers are very appreciated! Marek, what are the prospects of getting this in the Qubes repos? What else needs to be done? Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
