East-Tec DiskSanitizer for Linux

East-Tec DiskSanitizer for Linux is designed to prevent the recovery of sensitive data that you wish to be deleted from a hard disk. Neither simple file deletion, formatting the disk, nor using fdisk is enough to foil attempts to recover previously recorded data from a hard disk. East-Tec DiskSanitizer overwrites every sector of data on a disk to remove all traces of data. Data is removed according with U.S. Department of Defense standards or custom user security levels. East-Tec DiskSanitizer can be operated from a floppy disk to sanitize any drive from the computer, regardless of the file system or the operating system. It also features verification capabilities and full user control during the sanitizing process.

The program can now sanitize independent partitions on your hard drive without affecting other partitions.

To retire servers with sensitive data, it is important to ensure that data cannot be recovered from the hard disks. To ensure that all traces of data are removed, the DiskSanitizer tool can be used. This tool can be operated from a floppy disk and it removes data according with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) standards.
