    What has happended to the XB machine I cannot find where the download link is,and it would seem that the xerobank website has vanished what happended to it?If anyone has a iso file of the xb machine would you kindly distribute it somewhere like maybe sourceforge?

    the reason why I want it so bad is because I heard it had portable encrypted file storage,and based on a modified Gentoo Linux distribution,along with the native implementation of a Tor onion routing for internet connectivity and other encryption and privacy tools,The details and transactions inside each xB Machine account were protected with 256-bit AES encryption. The software also had a self-destruct sequence for eliminating any traces that a user may have left behind on the drivespace after using xB Machine.

    He is still showing up in Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6GwUFVlCKg. That was from March 2013, so he is still around. I remember quite some time back reading about him and the service. The further I got into reading, the less I wanted to have any dealings with the service. That said, what is printed and what is fact aren't always the same.

    That's from DEFCON 15, which was years ago.

    Whoops! :oops: :D I don't really know much about these things, so I'm trying to learn. Other than that link however, there indeed doesn't seem to be very much recent information on the gentleman.
