Understanding How Nuke My LUKS Works
Nuke My LUKS consists of four distinct pieces of code: client.py, server.py, generateconfig.py, and nukemyluks.sh. Essentially, it operates by sending a UDP broadcast message to port 1337, which includes a tag attached to a password defined by the user. If the provided password matches, the script responsible for destroying the LUKS header is executed. NOTE: It is crucial to configure your firewall rules to permit UDP broadcast messages from your trusted computer that runs the Nuke My LUKS client. Additionally, please note that this code can be adapted to execute any shell script and carry out other functions.
