Burning Data: Using Chemistry to Destroy Hard Drives
11:00 - 16:26 (05:25)
The use of thermite to destroy hard drives leaves behind a puddle of metal and a lot of smoke. In an effort to contain the reaction, a chemist discovered a new mixture that burned the hard drive cleanly without producing smoke or other safety hazards.

Daniel successfully experimented with fire rated drywall, burning a hard drive without producing any smoke or setting anything on fire in the rack and presenting his entire experimentation process on how he did it at ShmooCon 2012. Skunkworks talks about his own R&D outside school and his experience in everything from non-destructive entry to CUDA, VoIP, to Teslac oils.
