Open Source Linux File Shredders

Exton|Defender SRS is a Linux system available as a Live USB/DVD for repairing your system and data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer. Exton|Defender (two versions) is based on Fedora 43 (stable) and Fedora "Rawhide" (upcoming fc44) respectively. SYSTEM TOOLS INCLUDED (normally): NTFS-3g, GParted, PartImage, Shred, Sfdisk (util-linux-ng), Rsync, Ddrescue, FSArchiver, TestDisk and Safecopy, kernel headers, Emacs etc.. Desktop environments: Cinnamon 6.4.12 and Gnome 49. Kernel 6.17.4-amd64-exton is used in Build 251104/251029 (while running the systems live). CREATE YOUR OWN FEDORA 43/Rawhide SYSTEM Use Refracta Snapshot after a hard drive installation. Change everything to your liking. Then create a new ISO. CALAMARES Installer is installed in Build 251104/251029! Install to hard drive in any language! INSTALL TO A USB STICK WITH PERSISTENCE!

This application wipes your storage units (HDDs, SSDs, and flash drives) and renders them unrecoverable. This process is irreversible, and the data cannot be recovered later. Using this application is especially recommended if you're considering selling your storage units. The program is powered by the default kernel module, the "shred" tool. It's bilingual (English and Turkish) and easy to use. Simply select your drive and click the "Destroy!" button. https://github.com/shampuan/Linux-Disk-Destroyer

ShredBitz is a free and simple file shredder tool that can wipe selected files from any hard disk drive. ShredBitz is written in the java programming language and uses a custom written algorithm for shredding. ShredBitz is a very powerful tool.

Do you want to delete some top secret files? DON'T do that by only pressing DELETE, because the data would still be on your drive! Use Turbo Shredder and remove files by securely wiping them out. Requires JRE 7 to run properly.

Openshredder is os independent secure file deletion tool.It is very light weight and useful.It uses standard Zero and DoD algorithms.

Commandline File Shredder - ALBANESE Lab (c) 2020-2021 GOST R 50739-95 Data Sanitization Method (2 passes). Prevents data recovery using standard recovery tools.

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: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. See the project homepage https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To wipe data that was left on the drive by using "normal" delete operations, you can take a look at WipeFreeSpace (https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io), which wipes the space used by files marked as deleted (and other things, too).

Overwrite the specified FILE(s) repeatedly, in order to make it harder for even very expensive hardware probing to recover the data. Written by Colin Plumb.

This software is used to delete files securely in the Linux operating system using low level system calls.

There are many ways to delete a file, whether you want it to be secure or not, fast or not. Since nowadays, we use computers to store data (including confidential ones), we want to totally delete a file with no traces for any file recovery solution. The program supports Zero Data 1 Pass, British HMG IS5-Baseline 1 Pass, Russian GOST P50739-95 2 Passes, British HMG IS5-Enhanced 3 Passes, US DoD 5220.22-M / Canadian RCMP DSX 3 Passes, German VSITR 7 Passes, Bruce Schneier's 7 Passes, Canadian RCMP TSSIT OPS-II 7 Passes, and Peter Gutmann 35 Passes. The program is written in C# .NET. The source code is also available for download and you may contribute to the development here.

libShred is a preload library that attempts to intercept file deletion and truncation to shred the data before removal. It may be able to add an extra layer of security to your other applications, such as web browsers.

Shred is a fast and scalable faceted data browser. The application allows users to navigate the data in an intuitive way and by any path they wish to take. Immediate intuitive information regarding the data is apparent.
