It supports one step workflows with self disinfecting routines attempting to erase its traces after completing an action. It carries encrypted small load bundles. The scrubber software is a single use file executed on the host device targeting a defined recent time window.
Uses
- Clearing or masking recent movement logs on vehicles and devices
- Adding or camouflaging recent routes with realistic patterns
- Transferring single use passes for gates or events
- Carrying small configs or patches without network connection
Risk Profile
Aggressive cleaning may trigger integrity checks. Gaps or inconsistent patterns may be flagged by authorities. Recommended only for short time windows with plausible route masks and incremental timestamps.
Compatibility
Works with Plex common vehicle ports charging bases and certain municipal terminals.
Capacity
Small to medium optimized for logs tokens and keys not for large media.
Legal Status
Using Blinkstick to bypass or alter records is illegal while simple use as portable memory is legal. The same hardware may be lawful or unlawful depending on installed payloads and jurisdiction.
Scrubber Files
Single use files bound to a hardware ID. They typically clear or blur the last window such as two hours. They leave intervention noise indicating tampering without revealing content. They are often delivered via Blinkstick or side loaded through trusted terminals.
User Settings
- Ghost Post clears author identity after a TTL while keeping content when used with Murmur
- Decoy heartbeats random pings to conceal activity
- Panic Switch a phrase key that switches the UI to an innocent screen such as a beer menu or Wallcast news
Terminology
Scrub stick when cleaning or masking logs blink drive for rapid transfer of tokens or files scrubber for single use log cleaning files. All fall under Blinkstick as configurable functions and payloads.
Notes
Blinkstick occupies a gray zone between convenience and concealment. Its versatility makes it a favored tool for discreet movement and controlled erasure but also places it under periodic surveillance audits across Olmara.
