| Description: |
"Eraser is an
advanced security tool (for Windows), which allows you to completely
remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several
times with carefully selected patterns. Works with Windows 95, 98,
ME, NT, 2000, XP, Windows 2003 Server and DOS. Eraser is Free
software and its source code is released under GNU General Public
License. The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter
Gutmann's paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and
Solid-State Memory" and they are selected to effectively remove
magnetic remnants from the hard drive. Other methods include the one
defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual
of the US Department of Defence and overwriting with pseudorandom
data. You can also define your own overwriting methods." |
