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 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.
Top
reviews from the most popular software sites and magazines confirm
that Eraser is one of the best security tools available for Windows.
