Secure wiping/shredding of free disk space with many methods
WipeFreeSpace is a program to securely erase/wipe/overwrite/shred the free space on file systems WITHOUT DESTROYING EXISTING FILES, to prevent recovery of deleted sensitive data.
This allows protecting the user's privacy when e.g. selling the drive or the whole computer.
The following filesystems are supported:
- Ext2/3/4,
- NTFS,
- XFS,
- ReiserFSv3/4,
- FAT12/16/32,
- MinixFS1/2,
- JFS,
- HFS/HFS+,
- OCFS.
LibSecRm (LIBrary for SECure ReMoval) is a set of replacements for these standard C functions which cause data removing from files.
The data is first securely wiped on-the-fly, to protect the user's privacy, then the original functions are called.
There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibSecRm is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibSecRm loaded.
LibSecRm is also a development library.
The following wiping methods are supported:...
Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot image that securely wipes hard disk drives (HDDs). DBAN is appropriate for personal use, bulk data destruction, or emergency data destruction for HDDs, but is not recommended for solid-state drives (SSDs), sanitization that requires auditable compliance documentation, or technical support.
