sudo was installed by default, but the default user was not in the sudoers group immediately after a fresh install.

We wrote the software in kivy framework, so it can be ported to Android and iOS.

The biggest concern about phone support is Apple and Google trying to take away the ability for apps to lock, shutdown, or factory reset the phone -- if the phone isn't rooted.

Michael Altfield (BusKill founder) spoke about this at more length in his interview with TechLore here

because sudo isn't setup on fresh install of Debian. The article does use sudo, where possible.

Handcuffed briefcases (or a bag with bigger capacity, which is more practical but the same idea) are frequently used by folks transferring expensive items in armored trucks (eg banks) IRL

BusKill is used by travelers (folks working in cafes), journalists, activists, whistleblowers, cryptotraders, etc. More info on use-cases is in our documentation:

That's why the app has a button to disarm it :)

No. The first line of the canary clearly states "All good"

Status: All good
Release: 2025-06-16
Period: 2025-06-01 to 2026-05-31
Expiry: 2026-06-30

We're following the AutoCanary standard. So a possible Indication of Compromise would be Status: It's complicated, or if we didn't publish a canary before the last canary's Expiry date, or if the canary's signature was invalid.

You can check the signature to confirm its validity. For more info, see:
