Computer Security - Where can I find my wanted laptop?

Default Where can I find my wanted laptop?


Hi:

I would like a laptop that is NVRAM-free, cache-free, and with all OS-
partitions being in the form of mask-programmed ROM. I also need for
the MAC address, IP address, and any other unique IDs of my laptop to
be in the form of completely-volatile RAM, so that they will be lost
each time I turn my laptop off -- and make new IDs, IPs, and MACs,
when I turn it on again.

Normally MAC addresses and other unique IDs are stored in mask-
programmed ROM, which cannot at all change. In my laptop they should
be in V-RAM.

I don't plan to save anything on the laptop, which is why I don't need
NVRAM or caches. NVRAM and caches will store unwanted confidential
material no matter how much you try to erase. For example, the only
way to remove haunting info from HDDs is to heat the platters beyond
Curie point.


Happy New Year,

Radium

Don't know about that. I hefty sledgehammer will do just as well.

It may be available in the twilight zone. Or, closer to home, contact
Sharp about their glass computer. It should be available by now. All
you need to wipe it is the same sledghammer you use for the hard drives.

Of course, the best solution is to get back on your meds.

He can't possibly know that because if he does glow in the dark, it will
never be dark where he is.

If you don't plan to save anything, then there's no point in erasing the any
of the stuff you want to keep away from the non-volitile RAM.

You are far too paranoid to be out in public.

How about CDRom? Try one of the Linux Live CDs.

Just burn your laptop each time you shut it off and go buy a new one.

And you running around using other people;s MAC and IP address should not
bother you?

Or you could try using a reasonable operating system.
