SELF-DESTRUCT MODE
The self-destruct feature is designed to defend against brute force password
hacks. The DL3™ performs this by zeroizing all of the device’s encryption keys
once the appointed number of failed login attempts is reached.
Once the encryption key is deleted, your data is no longer
recoverable. Powering off the unit does NOT reset the unsuccessful password
attempts counter. The password attempts counter will only reset after a
successful password attempt. Use this feature with caution.
1.
If enabled, the self-destruct function can deter
brute force password attacks. The number of
password attempts is adjustable from 10 to 30
tries.
Once the defined number of failed password
attempts is reached, all data on the DL3™ drive
will be irrecoverably destroyed.
2.
The DL3™ drive is designed to automatically
power off after the first five tries. You will have to
unplug and reconnect the DL3™ drive to
reattempt the connection process.
3.
If you are within the final three tries you will be
alerted with a “Hack Detected” warning.
