VaKo Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Nah... just leave the platters in a box of magnets (shake then up everyday) then microwave them. If they can still read the data after that i'd shake there hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Doesn't the army and such put their old harddisks in a shredder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy© Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 What about smashs the hard drive opening it and rubing a magnet on the plater(s)? Someone else said there company drills through them... come on lifes more fun with powertools :twisted: Edit Drills through the platters that is not the employees because well you'd need overalls for that one... veryyyyy messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Drilling through doesn't sound like such a hot idea. I mean, you obliterate a number of sectors that are close together, but there's a HELL of a lot of disk that should come out unscathed. But I guess the real trick here is that it would have to appear that you had something very incriminating or valuable on that disk for anyone to invest in extracting the data. And since we were originally talking about police raiding a LAN party and how to prevent them from nailing you, no this will not be fool-proof, but getting a decent format on the drive and claiming afterwards that you came in late and didn't even have a chance to copy anything (not that you would, of course) should suffice to get you off with a warning.

tx Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 There's always DBAN. Im sure many of you have it, but for those that havn't its a small bootable linux distro that basically copies randomness from /dev/urandom (i think) to your hdd multiple times. Failing that, i find that a hdd, a small pile of thermite, a peice of magnesium ribbon, and a lighter, works very very well ;) Night people.

Arsenic Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 [dead idea] Hmm, Piggybacking on the idea that tx threw out....a possible recipe for quick and thorough hard drive destruction. Aside from installing thermite destruction device into your computer... But basicly have a burn box, that you can throw whatever needs destroying into (Removable drives, cd's, evil servers etc....), which either has a bed of thermite or a ceiling with thermite pouch in the top of the box, with a remote switch.

careless223 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 You will burn your f*ucking house down if you light thermite inside. Not only will you destroy all evidence on your harddrive but you will destroy all your possesions in the process. A better method would be to remove the platters from the disk case and put them in a vat on muratic acid. This is readily available at any pool supply store.

Matir Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 There are plenty of logs, guaranteed. Close to the 'printer' logging mechanism is a remote syslog... if they have that, you'll need to remove tracks from the remote syslog machine as well as the local machine. And if a backup is run while you're in the system... ouch, backup media with logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
