manuel Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 that's a linux command, so you need a linux boot floppy. There actually used to be a prgoram called auotclave, but it has since been discontinued for some reason or another. Basically that boot disk and the script above format the hard drive.

cooper Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 VilleValoV: While it might seem clever to learn how to cover your tracks before you learn to get in, it might be worth investigating what your way of getting in leaves behind. There's no surefire way to cover your tracks. There are surefire ways for an administrator to log your activities. Learn to get in without making a mess rather than where to find the duster (and if you do make a mess, know where it typically is so you can try to clean up anyways). Much to Hollywood filmmakers dismay, there's no UNIX command yet named "logout_and_remove_any_trace_of_me". The surefire way to get you logged without being able to remove it is to log directly to a printer. Only the most secure places do this however, due to the cost of logging, not to mention the trouble of having to dig through all that crap.

L1nX Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 This may be off topic but if you're into h4cking web sites and crack into a cPanel all you have to do is delete the file that stores your IP and stuff. It'll be easy to find. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrancher82 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I don't think there is a 100% way of not leaving any tracks. It's also dependant on how good the person tracking you is and how desperate they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalada Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 for hd in `mount | grep '^/dev/[hs]d.*' | sed s/ .*//`do dd if=/dev/zero of=$hd done /dev/random would be much better ;-) zero-ing is much easier to recover from. Also run it about 6 times. Or better still, DBAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
