DBAN is about the only one I know of worth using for free...  You might
have to do some tweaking for network boot, not sure.

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?
