Basically it writes random bytes to the disk (in the form of 20mb files) until the free space is finished, than it deletes these temp files.  
It is not safe to wipe the partition where the operating system is running, or the swap partition.

It is very fast!

Ideal for external hhd or ssd. I tested on a common laptop HDD (5400rpm) connected to the pc through a usb 2.0 box: 80GB wiped in less than an hour.


CHANGELOG:

 * 0.2
   - minor bugfix
   - linux version now must be compiled with option -pthread
