LUKS Nuke on Ubuntu 18.04?

So I've been searching through the Internet recently about a LUKS nuke patch from Offensoce Security for cryptsetup, but all of the places I've looked have the patch for cryptsetup 1.6.6 or earlier, while I have cryptsetup 2.0.2. I haven't been able to get any of the patches to work with my version, so does anyone know how to set it up so that I can add the luksAddNuke option to cryptsetup?

I don't know how this could happen, due to lack of resources:

1. The only available Kali-patch is: Debian_cryptsetup_2:2.0.6-1_Kali_cryptsetup_2:2.0.6-1kali1.debian.patch and can be found in debian.net.
2. The latest and only cryptsetup version available for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) is 2.0.2 and can be found in launchpad.net.
3. The latest Kali cryptsetup version that actually works can be found in Kali git repository here.

I tried combine all the above and do the same proccess as shown on this thread, but no luck.

Also, the Kali Binary(deb) of cryptsetup_2.3.1 has unmet dependecies on Ubuntu 18.04 and is broken.

Currently, with the available resources I belive that is not possible to make it work even for an oldest version (1.6.6), unless if an expert put his hands-on and write down some code.

To conclude, if you really want to use this feature, my suggestion is to switch into Kali-Linux distribution.
