Pam Panic - A Linux Authentication Module for People in Distress

Explore a Linux authentication module designed for individuals who may face distressing situations where they are coerced into revealing their password. Learn about pam_panic, a tool that allows users to set up a secondary password or media device that, when used, triggers the destruction of LUKS keyslots, rendering the encrypted filesystem inaccessible. Gain insights into LUKS encryption, understand the module's functionality, and discover its potential applications in scenarios such as forced password disclosure or raids. Witness a live demonstration of pam_panic's setup and operation, including both authentication and panic modes. Understand the limitations of this approach and participate in a Q&A session to address any queries about this security measure for Linux systems.
