Eraser is an advanced security tool (for Windows), which allows you to
completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several
times with carefully selected patterns. Works with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT,
2000, XP, Windows 2003 Server and DOS.
Eraser is Free software and its source code is released under GNU General
Public License.
The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann's paper
"Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" and they are
selected to effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.
Other methods include the one defined in the
National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual of the US Department
of Defence and overwriting with
pseudorandom data. You can also define your own overwriting methods.
