Re: Open Source or Freeware File / Free Space Erasers

Have you looked at Eraser, http://eraser.heidi.ie/, for Windows?  We are
happy with it and recommend it to our users, though, I have never used it to
wipe free space.

Subject: [SECURITY] Open Source or Freeware File / Free Space Erasers

 

Does anyone have a recommendation of a free or very low cost product for
doing secure file erasures?  Having secure free space wipe functionality
would be a big plus.  Our main concern is that the software be simple to
setup and use and be safe (basically, we don't want the free space wipe to
result in a bricked machine).  This is for a very short term use and
management features are not desired.

 

Thanks in advance!
