@phpmacher Andere verschrotten in so einer Situation den PC und kaufen neu (Behörden *räusper*).

Für alle anderen, die gerne rumprobieren, gäbe es da noch Netboot.xyz (https://netboot.xyz/). Einfach alle möglichen Linux Distros, nahezu blitzschnell, aus dem Netzwerk booten (PXE). Mit Anleitung sogar Windows. Benutze ich recht häufig auch für RAM Analysen oder Secure Erase Zeug. Da gibts eigentlich alles, was man sich so vorstellen kann: DBan, Arch Linux, CentOS, clonezilla, FreeBSD, GParted, Kali, Proxmox, Rescuezilla, ShredOS, ... uvm.

netboot.xyz enables you to PXE boot many Operating System installers and utilities from a simple to use menu powered by the iPXE project.

Is there another #OpenSource SSD erasing tool than #DBan? Seems like it didn't work on Modern Hardware anymore... #linux

Gibt es noch andere Programme als #dban für's sichere Löschen von Datenträgern?

Wenn nicht, wie lange braucht #dban ungefähr? Hab hier ein paar Sticks (1-16GB) und Festplatten (ca. 750GB-1,5TB), die gelöscht werden müssten.

Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, müsste ich alle Festplatten meines Rechners abklemmen 🤔

"Note: Disconnect any hard drives from your PC that you do not want to erase. DBAN will delete absolutely everything that is connected to it."

Secure hard disk erasure

Hey, everybody, I want to safely delete files from my hard drive. Is there a graphical software that allows erasing like eraser under Windows with a method like dod 5220.22? Thank you in advance! P.S: for the command line method, I know (like shred) but I'm a slacker.

While using my colleague's #DBAN USB key to wipe computers' hard disks, I did not really understand the menu and wiped not only the computers' disk but also the DBAN USB key...

Colleague is not entirely amused.

I tried to dd to the wiped USB key the DBAN ISO found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/files/dban/dban-2.3.0/dban-2.3.0_i586.iso/download (link found here https://dban.org/ ) but it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong ?

Wiping disks via PXE and #dban in autowipe modus is fun.
