Nwipe/ShredOS is the maintained version of DBAN and fixes many of the bugs and security issues with DBAN. DBAN does not recognise modern devices, it's implementation of Isaac is a huge security risk, DBAN can actually write uninitialised memory to the disc you are supposedly wiping if you select Isaac as a command line option! If you like DBAN you really want to check out Shredos i686 32bit and ShredOS 2020.02 64bit. GitHub(dot)com/partialVolume . Nwipe is also available in most Linux distros and is available as usb or .iso images to create a USB or CD/DVD bootable advanced version of DBAN. ShredOS/nwipe supports more wipe methods, prngs that work properly and drive temperature monitoring, plus UEFI and bios bootable, better logging, wipe and error summary tables. ShredOS can wipe headless systems via the network and export logs on your LAN via lftp and still remain easy to use if you don't need those features. You can create customised USB bootable devices if you want nwipe to always run using a specific method or even create a bootable autonuke stick.

Fantastic. Needed to clean lousy 2014 Lenovo Windows laptop that could barely function. Used RUFUS on another system to create USB bootable key drive of the DBAN iso. Booted it and ran "autonuke" to clean the laptop prior to recycling.

I've been using this for years, it works flawlessly and I know when it's complete everything is gone!

Works like a charm! My setup: Sun fire 4500 Thumper; Disks: 48; Size: 48TB; Time for short DoD 5220.22-M for all of them: 135 hours. Autonuke used. Simply perfect!!!!
