Re: Fully Erase Hard and Flash Drives

["Kimmitt, Jonathan" <jonathan-kimmitt () UTULSA EDU>]

Hi Ryan,

  It depends to what level we need to wipe the device....  If we need to do a true forensic wipe we use a Tableau TD2.

If we need to do a basic wipe, we do the same as other's have mentioned (dd, shred, dban, etc)....

We also have a hard drive crusher that we enjoy using...

Subject: [SECURITY] Fully Erase Hard and Flash Drives

BHC is looking for a program to erase hard drives and flash drives.  What programs do you recommend to completely wipe 
USB and Hard Drives?  We are currently using an open source program when the need arises but that doesn't erase flash 
drive and Solid State Drives.  Any input would be appreciated!
