Open up your computer and take a plug in from an old lamp and connect one wire to each side of the hard drive. Make it so the cords can come out of the laptop and are easily accessible. When needed plug in the cord to an outlet. the electrical surge being put through both the hard drive and computer will be enough to fry it and then still be able to unplug it from the wall before it gets too hot. You need only fry the mother board

No one's going to be able to stop it before it does it's thing.. I doubt even if they expected the laptop to be under thermite they'd be able to do much to stop it.
If you're not going to completely obliterate the hard drive, then there's little point in even trying to hide whatever.. As someone stated even hard drives that seem to be damaged beyond all recognition can still give up access to the data on it.

So the magnet won't work?
It could work, but I wouldn't want to rely on it..

Ever watched breaking bad "Magnets Bitch" Just make a simple electro magnet and turn it on when "HE" needs it destroyed. Itll wipe every clean (well unless they have a mass hacker in which case they wouldnt need your mates laptop anyway.)

TheWiz said: Maybe just replace the hard drive? Or is there important info on the one that may need to be destroyed? I would think magnet is the best bet.
That's the thing. There is all sorts of important shit on it (a lot of it not related to the need to destroy it) and it would be a pain in the ass to get it all back. Some of it would even be gone forever.

move everything to an external hard drive, I believe some have the ability to erase themselves completely if you set up a password and enter it incorrectly.
if it's not too much data, move it to a thumbdrive. much easier to destroy with a few hammer strikes and tossing it onto a lit burner.
also strong acid would work (but should be handled with extreme care)

It doesn't matter if it will erase if you guess the incorrect password. Before any lab will try and guess a password, they will mirror every bit on the drive, which gives them unlimited attempts at cracking your password. Encryption is the only way to stop someone from getting access to your drive in this scenario.

Asshole. I think I'll just tell him to stick with the magnet and keep a bucket full of liquid around to submerge it in for good measure.

a thumb drive would work and formatting them is pretty quick too. you wouldnt even have to smash it. i saw a 64 gig thumb drive at walley world for like 30.00

i meant to manually add incorrect password when emergency happens. don't rely on the fuzz to be stupid....

What is the liquid supposed to do? Clean the drive for the police? Its not going to stop them from retrieving the data, they can retrieve data from laptops that have been sitting in the ocean for months.

hydrofluoric acid can dissolve some metals and silicon (assuming that hard drives are made of silicon conductors, i have no idea how hard drives work)

the way to get around all this is to run the hard drive thru a drill press, and , switch to linux discs. if ya handle the RAM and flash drives right, your always cool.

There is no way that works. Forensic data recovery will recover every bit of data that is "erased." They can even get data off a disk that has had a 7 pass/rewrite done to it.
Only a strong electromagnet will do that he wants.
