anyone know a FAST disk whiper or someting to whipe my disk, at least 10 times?

PGP's diskwhiping is to slow, are there any others?

What is diskwhiping ?
~Faceless Master

Its deletes all the unused bytes and writes them over about 10 times - or however many u specify - with random binary digits so that its impossible (or at least we hope ) to retrieve the original info

heres a crazy idea dont take it seriously

if you want to "really" wipe your disk, constuct make a large electromagnet and sit it on top of ur disk, when u want to wipe it just switch on electromagnet and bam! no more data

large electromagnet? like what?

The idea with the elektro Magnet is quite funny but the disk is crashed after that action and can`t be used anymore

its not about wiping the disk - its about wiping the "unused" bytes and it does that by "whipping!" ie writing random binary digits over and over so that the original cant be retrieved

Electromagnets with hard drives are fun to play with as long as it isn't ur hard drive

well.. does anybody any fast ones?

electromagnet would do the trick, but my homemade baseball bat is even better.

well put thom..

lol thom nice one

So I have to find another monkey cage and ask?

I think they are all slow.... If you want to be secure (and outsmart forensics) it just takes time.

I have used BCwhipe (included with BestCrypt) and found it to be a good (but also slow) whiper.
