Hi all,

American traveling to China for IETF, and making my tech prep plans (bringing a laptop, phone, tablet, kindle, and steam deck). I won’t bias with my current plans too much, but I do already run Linux+LUKS and GrapheneOS.

For those with experience, what tech prep would you do?

Thanks!

    Completely depends on what your threat model is, but personally:

    I’d make an encrypted image of my drives, upload that to remote storage, zero out the drives for border crossing, then restore over the wire on the other side.

      Don’t zero, install windows. Use company laptop or loaner, might catch hardware backdoor on the border. Don’t use for critical stuff or to access critical stuff. Discard or return afteru the fact.
