Ive done it, youve done, weve all done it at some point. The DNM scene is so addicting that at the begining of my usage I was careless about my OPSEC. I used Tor, GPG and other things I would hate LE to find on my windows OS. If I use Dariks Boot and Nuke to clear my hard drive, would I still be able to access BIOS and boot into TAILS already installed on a flash drive? I have a great hiding spot for my flash drive so if LE ever knocked on my door I could simply say "yeah I got a virus on that computer I have no clue why it doesnt work" (well I wouldnt say that, my lawyer would but still... you get it.)
If this does indeed work I believe that it is a pretty smart way to access and order from DNMs.
NOTE: This is a computer that I do not need anymore, my goal is to only be able to run TAILS on it.
Thanks :)
This isn't the air tight defense you think it is. There needs to be evidence of a virus.
Also, the team that searches your home for flash devices and sdhc cards when you're arrested for computer crimes is a team whos bulk work is anti-terror. You will not hide anything from these people.
Anyway: BIOS is on the motherboard, not the harddrive. So yes, have at it.
DBAN is overkill, just zero the drive and bin it.
