You'll Never Take Me Alive!

You'll Never Take Me Alive! is a handy little app for OS X that helps keep your MacBook safe. It’s designed to add an extra layer of security, especially if you’re using the FileVault protection system.

How It Works

This utility keeps an eye on your Ethernet connection and checks if your MacBook is plugged into an AC power source. If it notices that either of these is disconnected, You'll Never Take Me Alive! will automatically put your system into hibernation mode. This way, it protects the encryption keys stored in memory from being accessed.

Status Bar Protection

To let you know everything's secure, You'll Never Take Me Alive! shows a small menu icon in your status bar. You can quickly access the app’s settings from there. It even displays the physical Ethernet adapters detected and tells you whether you’re connected to AC power.

Troubleshooting Made Easy

The same area also lists any errors that might stop the app from working correctly, helping you troubleshoot those issues without stress.

FileVault Integration

If you're not familiar, Mac OS X has this built-in FileVault tool that secures your data by encrypting it. To get You'll Never Take Me Alive! running, just make sure to enable FileVault through the OS X System Preferences.

Power Settings Security

If You'll Never Take Me Alive! finds that your Power Settings are not secure, it can actually run commands to adjust how long before hibernation kicks in. Plus, it needs to recognize your Mac model too!

Your Data Stays Safe

The main goal of You'll Never Take Me Alive!, at the end of the day, is to ensure that any data encrypted with FileVault stays protected on your MacBook. If something goes wrong—like losing connection to AC power or Ethernet—it puts everything into hibernation mode to guard against cold-boot attacks.
