| Wipe is a little command for securely erasing files from magnetic media. For *nix. By Berke Durak. | |
| Recovery of supposedly erased data from magnetic media is easier than what many people would like to believe. A technique called Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) allows any moderately funded opponent recover the last two or three layers of data written to disk. Wipe repeadetly overwrites special patterns to the files to be destroyed, using the fsync() call and/or the O_SYNC bit to force disk access. Changes: Use of /dev/urandom to seed libc's random() additive feedback pseudo-random generator; a new 32-bit seed is fetched for every 1024 bytes. Homepage here. By Berke Durak | |

| wipe v0.57.0 - Secure file wiper, for *nix. By Tom Vier. | |
| wipe is a secure file wiping utility that utilizes /dev/urandom, or if unavailable, /dev/random, as a source for entropy. The tiger hash is used for speed. See the README file and the wipe man pages for details about the software and secure file deletion. By Tom Vier. | |

| ya-wipe 0.58.3 is a tool that effectively degauses the surface of a hard disk, making it virtually impossible to retrieve the data that was stored on it. This is the ultimate in making sure secure data that is erased from a hard drive is unrecoverable. Changes: Fixed a bug in the dirent scan algorithm which would skip files starting with ".".

| ya-wipe 0.58.4 is a tool that effectively degauses the surface of a hard disk, making it virtually impossible to retrieve the data that was stored on it. This is the ultimate in making sure secure data that is erased from a hard drive is unrecoverable. Changes: fixed stupid bug that didn't check if the file size was zero, added missing fflush, so now you'll see "100%", added missed closedir() call in direntcheck, added rpm spec file and removed chown stuff from the makefile.

| ya-wipe 0.58.5 is a tool that effectively degauses the surface of a hard disk, making it virtually impossible to retrieve the data that was stored on it. This is the ultimate in making sure secure data that is erased from a hard drive is unrecoverable. Changes: fixed two heap smashing bugs, removed unnecessary direntcheck(), which was broken anyway, removed autoconf check for access(), updated readme, added PATH_MAX check to wipe.h for systems that don't define it.

| ya-wipe 0.58.6 is a tool that effectively degauses the surface of a hard disk, making it virtually impossible to retrieve the data that was stored on it. This is the ultimate in making sure secure data that is erased from a hard drive is unrecoverable. Changes: fixed integer division bugs which prevented the main loop in hashout_update() from running.

| ya-wipe is a tool that effectively degauses the surface of a hard disk, making it virtually impossible to retrieve the data that was stored on it. This tool is designed to make sure sensitive data is completely erased from magnetic media. Changes: Fixes for serious hash IO bugs, new Debian package scripts, minor block devices fixes (still untested), an updated man page, and simplified debug builds. Homepage here. By Tom Vier | |

This tool is designed to make sure that sensitive data is completely erased from magnetic media. Changes: A fix for a typo that caused ioctl() to not be used (only affected block device support).
