Boot and Nuke
For the ultimate data destruction (eg when replacing a hard disk or decommissioning a machine) simply formatting the hard disk(s) doesn’t (completely) remove your data; someone determined enough could retrieve your files you thought were gone forever… Darik’s Boot and Nuke is a bootable floppy that securely wipes hard disks and completely deletes the contents. It supports many international wipe standards like the American DoD 5220-22.M and the Gutmann Wipe; after using Boot and Nuke on a hard disk you can be rest assured the data is gone for good (so use it wisely!).

Very cool. I used to use BCWipe on Windows to nuke files, but this little floppy rules. I just tried it out, and I’m impressed. Great find!
