Keep your steem safe -

- And your steempower safer.

Hi all!
I am happy to see so many steemians upvoting and producing quality content. I just wanted to make a quick little post about a tools I have created that could help improve security and protection for the #steemTeam

Silk Guardian

Silk Guardian is a neat little tool that will protect you from unwanted intruders. The way it works is actually kinda technical but it waits at the operating system level. The moment a USB key is inserted that you don't want in your computer, the computer will wipe your ram and turn off. If you wish it also has the added ability to remove (shred) files from your computer before it shuts down.

Here are 3 reasons you might wanna use this tool:

• In case the police or other thugs come busting in (or steal your laptop from you when you are at a public library as happened to Ross). The police commonly uses a « mouse jiggler » to keep the screensaver and sleep mode from activating.
• You don't want someone retrieve your wallet from your computer via USB or install malware or backdoors.
• You want to improve the security of your (Full Disk Encrypted) home or corporate server (e.g. Your Raspberry).

Installation:
Make sure you have all the dependencies...

pacman -S gcc linux-headers

or

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

After you have those two out of the way, the rest is very simple. Edit the config.h file to fit your needs and then run these two commands
$ make
$ sudo insmod silk.ko
Thats it! Protection has never been so easy :)

Thanks everyone, remember to keep your valuable steem safe as we head into the next phase of the steem market.
