EMBO — Emergency Memory BlackOut
EMBO is XColdPro's triple-pass memory sanitization protocol. It activates automatically every time the application is closed, whether exit occurs through the exit button, the Escape key, or the system tray.
How It Works
When EMBO runs, it performs three sequential overwrite passes across every memory address that held sensitive data during the session. This includes:
- Seed phrases
- Private keys
- Derived keys
- Decrypted wallet data
- Transaction signing material
Each pass overwrites the data with random values.
Visual Confirmation
EMBO is displayed visually during execution. The memory sector grid shows each block being wiped in real time, with:
- A progress ring showing overall completion
- A live memory address feed
- A pass counter showing all three passes
This is not a simulation. The displayed addresses are real memory locations from the session.
EMBO is always enabled, runs every time the application is closed, and cannot be disabled. Fast EMBO can be selected in settings for immediate closure.
Keyboard shortcut for manual trigger: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E (Windows/Linux) / Cmd+Shift+Opt+E (macOS)
