| | Ask HN: Kill Switch for Your Application | | 2 points by yair99dd on Sept 5, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | | recently i had to distribute an c++ software to a client, and was asked to implement a kill switch.
i choose to use libSSH, handeling an authentication process at the start of main(). i opened a user with /sbin/nologin on a server and sent the software with an ssh public key to challenge the server with. the hostname and user are hardcoded in the code.
what other options do i have, how would you do it. |
