My last will

Hi,

some of you may use some form of encryption for securing data on your harddisks, your PINs, your hipforums password etc. What if you will hit by a bus tomorrow and as a result you meet your master? Do you have a plan to hand out the passphrases of your encryption scheme to your beloved? What if they died with you?

Regards
Gyro

 

they will die with me (the encryption passwords..not my beloved)

 

We would all go forward together into the great beyond! Its a classic case of I'm dead anyway and who gives a shit what happens to my stuff. If anyone needed or wanted access no doubt they would hire some bright young hacker to break in. Good luck to them. They will only find out that I don't have anything worth accessing anyway

 

Hi,

so will mine. But the passphrases are the key to my account, to my insurance, the secret depots , etc. Without the passphrases the beloved will face a hard time. Furthermore I run dozens of machines for which I'm the only one knowing the administrative accounts. And what about the data on your disks? No, not the porn collection . Should it be deleted, lost forever? Such problems are fairly new to us and I think it's time to start thinking about them.

i don't really have anything important stored on my computer.

i'm keeping my forums password a secret, because i plan to use this site to communicate with you all from the other side.

 

Hi,

the problem becomes much smaller if one has nothing to give to the posterity. It's not that much about the stuff, it's more about how the lifes of your heirs change if they have access to your stuff or not.

If it's that easy you should revise your encryption scheme.

Hi,

I do internet banking with my computer and I store names, email adresses and phone numbers from people that trust me on it. The last thing I need is a stolen computer with a ready to access harddisk in it.

How do we recognise you and how can we be sure that you are really in that other world?

i'll still keep the same username.

and i'll take pictures.

 

Hi,

cool. Give my best regards to Jim, if you meet him.

Gyro

 

i'll give your regards to every dead jim i come across. :cheers2:

 

Hi,

thank you, that's very kind of you. I guess you will become an expert in dead jims real soon .

I'll visit the other world now, it's sleeping time.

Have fun
Gyro

 

Hi,

I think all the pointlessness I have on my laptop which amounts to pretty much nothing will be the last thing on people's minds when I die, they will be too busy rejoicing and raiding my shit.

I hope they dont figure out my passwords...they might be surprised at my ......umm...movie collection
