The end client had wished to be present to see the data wiped from the demo machines. I just knocked up a while true rm -rf * script and called it DONT_RUN_ME_OR_I_WILL FLATTEN_THIS_MACHINE it had pre-shared keys and would login it to the whole system setting fire to everything it could find

She was in full swing right until I asked if she had gone and tested the script to which she sheepishly said yes and was drowned out by my laughter...
