wipe-2.0.0.tar.bz2

Posted May 12, 2001

Site wipe.sourceforge.net

ya-wipe is a tool that effectively degausses 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 that sensitive data is completely erased from magnetic media.

Changes: Splitting wipe.c into seperate modules, removal of raw /dev/urandom passes, switching back to the Mersenne Twister (much faster and uses much less entropy from /dev/urandom), changes to a lot of command line options, proper syscall wrappers, and improved per-file fault tolerance (a failure during wiping of one file doesn't cause the rest to be aborted).

ya-wipe is a tool that effectively degausses 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 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).

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.

wipe-0.16.tar.gz

Posted Dec 30, 1999

Authored by Berke Durak | Site gsu.linux.org.tr

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.

wipe-0.58.5.tar.bz2

Posted Aug 17, 1999

Authored by Tom Vier

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 0.58.4 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.
