Something to consider...... Wiping a hard drive with multiple passovers can cause lose of life to the drive. Not to mention the heat damage that can occur. At my company, I've managed to work out a deal with a local company that shreds the drives completely. This by far is the safest way to remove data and decom a hard drive ( and the drive doesn't even have to work :) ) Just a suggestion...... -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of JP Vicente Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 6:32 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: DoD aproved disk wiping tool Hello, Is there a way of wiping a hard drive remotely over a network using an approved DoD 5200.28 standard hard drive wiping tool. Additionally, is there a wiping utility besides bcwipe that is NSA approved?
