the guy that came to see me said that their forensics guys could read data off a hard drive that had been written over up to thirty times. I find this very hard to believe and told him I thought he was mistaken but the guy was adamant that it could be done. My question is, does anyone have any views on this,
I have an italian policewoman I know (a very cute young lady BTW), who made the same statement a year ago over a business lunch, which I took very prudently. But it looks like it can be done. Do a google search for Tunnel Microscopy,I also have a couple of specific URLs which I'll post when I get back to my home office. The real point is that it CAN be done, but not necessarily it OUGHT to be done :-) it's costly, it takes a long time, you have to be very motivated to do it. I doubt such technology is used to recover a few hundred dollars (or Euros, if you like) of license. Back later with the URLs. -- Alessandro Bottonelli ICT Security Consultant abottonelli () libero it
