nwipe is a command that will securely erase disks using a variety of
|
|
|
|
|
recognised methods. It is a fork of the dwipe command used by
|
|
|
|
|
Darik's Boot and Nuke (dban). nwipe is included with partedmagic if you
|
|
|
|
|
want a quick and easy bootable CD version. nwipe was created out of
|
|
|
|
|
a need to run the DBAN dwipe command outside of DBAN, in order to
|
|
|
|
|
allow its use with any host distribution, thus giving better hardware
|
|
|
|
|
support.
