When you leave a post what is a reasonable level to disinfect your computer to, so that there is little risk of your information leaking when your work machine is no longer under your control?
When I left my previous post I booted from a usb and shredded the whole disk, however this time I want to leave the Ubuntu installation intact.
Tasks in Order
✔ Create some new users: we are going to wipe the current administrative user.
✔ Unlink the machine from Dropbox, or files will either reappear, or get deleted on Dropbox.
✔ Pass a copy of the password safe to another member of the team.
✔ In Chrome disconnect your account.
✔ Change user password.
✔ Shred home directory: we are not trying to resist a determined attack, just trying to make sure that trivial use of google things is no longer possible.
find -type f -print0 |xargs -0 shred -u
find -depth -print0 |xargs -0 rmdir
