Although security is one of our top priorities, we might not be able to inform you of of a breach if we are served with a secret, state-issued subpoena (also known as a "gag order"). The BusKill team publishes cryptographically signed warrant canaries on a biannual basis to indicate to our users the integrity of our systems.
Development Progress
We're currently fixing our CI build system, a process that involves manually downloading, verifying, and then updating many of our app's dependencies. Because most package managers don't provide authenticity checks (and because brew switched from JFrog to a container registry), this is an arduous process.
We've also squashed some bugs relating to small font display on HiDPI displays. And added an accessibility feature for users to be able to customize the font in the app.
Documentation Progress
We've been working with YouTuber samxplogs to produce better video demos of BusKill. We should begin publishing these videos later this year.
Hardware
Last month we published our first video demo showing a homemade BusKill Cable (in the prototype 3D-printed case) triggering a lock-screen. We're happy to say this generated some interest, and it was covered by hackster.io :)
We're looking forward to continuing to improve the 3D Printable BusKill hardware cable, documentation, app, and continuing to make the BusKill cable to make it more accessible this year.
If you want to help, please consider purchasing a BusKill cable for yourself or a loved one. It helps us fund further development, and you get your own BusKill cable to keep you or your loved ones safe.
