EraseData

Erase drives or files by completely overwriting with random data. The source code is in a small, single C file that builds and works on Windows and Linux.

Features

Write random data to file or drive multiple times.
Verify what is written to the file or drive.
Builds for Windows, Linux and most Unix-like operating systems, with a single, compact C source file (only 295 lines).
Very fast (more than 2x faster than 'shred' on Linux).
