  • Here is the command that will render a LUKS encrypted device un recoverable
    From the documentation.

    5.4 How do I securely erase a LUKS container?

    For LUKS, if you are in a desperate hurry, overwrite the LUKS header and key-slot area. For LUKS1 and LUKS2, just be generous and overwrite the first 100MB. A single overwrite with zeros should be enough. If you anticipate being in a desperate hurry, prepare the command beforehand. Example with /dev/sde1 as the LUKS partition and default parameters:

    head -c 100000000 /dev/zero > /dev/sde1; sync












  • Construction company we made a few foundation pads and the supervisor who was an asshole, came to check the electrical installation conduit, so he pulls his plan and goes to one conduit end that is supposed to go all the way to the other side, so he yells at one of the workers to blow on the other conduit and wants to listen for air coming out on his end.

    Guy on the other end blows, nothing happens on this side, the asshole supervisor yells “Blow Harder” so the construction worker obeys and gives a big strong blow on his end. Well nobody saw this coming, someone had urinated in the pipe so all pee comes out and squirts his face in front of everybody.

    Since we hated him we were all laughing our souls out of our bodies. :) The supervisor, didn’t say a word and walked away furious.
