It's a wonderful way to say "good luck in your new job"?The CCEVS approved UniShred Pro http://niap-ccevs.org/cc-scheme/st/index.cfm/vid/6001 at EAL 1. I think the only "approved" process for hard drive wiping by the "NSA" is catastrophic EMP magnetization of the drive. Yes I read that the NSA approved bcwipe, but that's dod standards, internally I don't think they allow anything but complete destruction before letting a hard drive leave the building.
Your site, if dealing with NSA information will have a policy in place for file and hard drive deletion. Rather than going out on your own, you should probably talk to your point of contact.
Personally I use eraser with Guttman settings and disk nuke on random infinite wipe and let it run for the week. I seriously doubt that won't stop anyone without a multi million dollar budget and a serious interest in my data.

Additionally, is there a wiping utility besides bcwipe that is NSA approved? JP
