Need a Hard Drive Scrubber

[gr8rcake]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a good application out there for linux that would allow me to "scrub" my hard drive, or specifically a partition. Meaning, perminatly remove all evidence of deleted files on a filesystem so they couldn't be accessed later via forensics or file recovery software. Possible partitions I would use this on include Ext2fs, Ext3fs, and ReiserFS.

Simple solution is write zeros to the drive e.g.;

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdaX

Or write ranom binary

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hdaN

You can also try DBAN http://dban.sourceforge.net/ and KillDisk http://www.killdisk.com/
