Open Source Linux File Shredders

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

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.

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.

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. If you want a clear explanation on how each of the algorithms work, please refer here: http://www.phoebekwok.com/publications/GJY_SecureDataShredder.pdf

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).

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

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.

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.
