What is BusKill?
BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It’s a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.
If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys — thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.
Windows
BusKill was tested to work in Windows 10.

Visit docs.buskill.in for instructions on how you can build your own BusKill cable and download the BusKill app for Windows.
Or you can buy a BusKill kit with the BusKill Windows app pre-installed on the the included USB drive.
macOS
BusKill was tested to work in macOS 14 (Sonoma).

TAILS
BusKill was tested to work with TAILS (The Amnesic Incognito Live System).
To see a demo of BusKill in TAILS, see our last demo
While you could use the BusKill Linux .AppImage release with a second USB drive while using TAILS, the recommended solution for security-critical users is to just use the BusKill cable in-line with the TAILS live USB drive. This takes advantage of
- The BusKill cable’s magnetic breakaway along with
- The TAILS built-in emergency shutdown
Visit docs.buskill.in for instructions on how you can build your own BusKill cable to use with TAILS.
Or you can buy a BusKill cable to support the BusKill project.
