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.
2024 Highlights
We've made a lot of progress with BusKill in 2024!
Development progress
In 2024, we've been working on some improvements to the buskill app, including updating the dependencies, optimizing images, changing the settings window to recycle view, fixing a soft-shutdown arming bug on some MacOS systems, earlier privilege escalation & verification for MacOS soft-shutdown trigger, fixing a small font bug on high-DPI screens, and adding a "font" section to the settings menu (accessibility feature).
We hope to polish off this v0.8.0 release in 2025.
In 2024, BusKill cables became available to purchase at another physical brick-and-mortar store in Europe. We announced this with our partnership with NovaCustom.
Happy 2025!
We're looking forward to continuing to improve the BusKill software and looking for other avenues to distribute our hardware 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.
