    Bootable Usb To Quickly Erase Drives

    in Security

    Posted

    Just curious, why do you need to quickly reformat a drive if your not going to completely nuke it? Even if you create some script or find some program that auto reformats all connected drives upon mounting, anyone could come in with some file recovery software and pull most of it right back. Autonuke from Dban might be your best bet.

    Its more of a "meanness" program than one that does anything of use. One minute your PC is fine, next minute it doesn't boot. I don't care if they are able to recover data.

    I fail to see the difference? Hacktool vs legit tool?? Is a tool that does what you ask it to do a hacktool or a tool?? If you like the functionality of DBAN, figure out a way to autmoate it. Hell, load DamnSmallLinux to boot and write a script to search, mount, and then DD all drives except the one you are on.

    Thanks. I didnt see anything like this online, so I emailed their support. It does have that "autonuke" command, I just need a way to automate it. But DBAN is kinda overkill, since I just need it simple formatted.

    Howdy!

    I'm looking to see if one of these already exists, or can be easily built. I'm looking to make a bootable USB key, that when booted from, will immediately erase all the drives connected to the machine (except itself). It can be done via simple "quick format", or a regular format. It is not necessary to make the data non-recoverable, just need to make sure the drives look empty.

    It is important that there be NO user interaction. Simply insert the key, have the BIOS boot to it, it erases the drives, then reboots the machine.
