dotNet Disk Imager
Lightweight RAW and ZIP disk images reader and writer to USB or SD
IMPORTANT!!! Since this is new software, your web browser, operating system or even possibly antivirus software may report security alerts against this tool. Please ignore that messages until this tool gets widely spread. This program is highly inspired by Win32 Disk Imager and sort of copies it's function. However, I've added some features, like verification of readed/writed image file and the most important is on the fly support for zipped images. Another features worth mentioning are simultaneous write to multiple devices at one time or wiping of device filesystem and partitions. I would be happy to hear your feedback and I'm ready to listen to your suggestions. Feel free to request new features, if I found them interesting I will definitely implement them. Requires .NET Framework 4.6.1 (download here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=671729 ) Supports Windows 7 and newer. If you need older Windows support, use Win32 Disk Imager. Please write a review. -

AAD-50
Zero-trust storage erasure. Hardware-verified data destruction.
AAD-50 is an open-source NVMe sanitization framework that closes a 15-year verification gap in Linux nvme-cli. The standard nvme sanitize command returns immediately after acceptance without confirming the drive actually completed the background erasure. AAD-50 fixes this by polling NVMe Log Page 0x81 (Sanitize Status) after every cycle and refusing to advance until SSTAT=0x1 confirms hardware completion. Implements a 50-cycle B→C→A phase matrix: 40 cycles NAND overwrite, 5 FTL block erase, 5 crypto key destruction. Generates a SHA-256 audit chain and PDF Certificate of Destruction aligned with NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 Purge and IEEE 2883.1-2025. Runs on Linux CLI, Windows CLI, and Windows GUI. Supports USB enclosure passthrough via 3-tier SCSI/ATA pathway. Adopted into linux-nvme/nvme-cli master (PR #3438) in 14 days. Reviewed by Peter Gutmann (Gutmann 35-pass method) and Guido van Rossum (creator of Python). Confirmed by NVM Express Administration as recommended best practice. -

Delete At Date
Delete At Date schedules files for auto-deletion on a chosen date.
Delete At Date is a Windows utility that schedules individual files for automatic removal on a date you choose. Drop a file onto the window or browse for it, pick a target date, and the app deletes it when that day arrives - even if the program is closed. A scheduled task or Registry Run entry handles the timing, so cleanup happens in the background. Files are sent to the Recycle Bin by default, or shredded with a random overwrite when Secure Delete is enabled. Before anything is removed, a CRC32 integrity check compares the file with its stored hash; if the content changed, the deletion is postponed instead of destroying unexpected data. Safety guards block system paths, critical system files, and the running executable, and only fixed internal drives are accepted - USB, network and CD volumes are rejected. A Dry Run mode lets you preview what would happen, while retries, toast notifications, a daily log and a Dashboard keep you informed. -
