THC-SecureDelete 3.1

THC-SecureDelete is the best secure data deletion toolkit! If you overwrite a file for 10+ times, it can still be recovered. Read why and use the programs included (w/src!). These tools can wipe files, free disk space, swap and memory! Changes: Linux LKM for secure file deletion included, small bufixes. COMMANDLINE OPTIONS Here are the commandline options: srm [-d] [-f] [-l] [-l] [-v] [-z] file [file] [another file] [etc.] sfill [-i] [-I] [-f] [-l] [-l] [-v] [-z] target-directory sswap [-f] [-l] [-l] [-v] [-z] /dev/of_swap_filesystem smem [-f] [-l] [-l] [-v] The -s options are depricated now, and will be ignored. -d dont delete the dot special files "." and ".." on the commandline (only srm) -i wipe only free inode space, not free disk space on the filesystem (only sfill) -I wipe only free disk space, not free inode space on the filesystem (only sfill) -f fast writes without O_SYNC and sync() between writes. Much faster but less secure. -l lessens the security. Only one random plus one pass with 0xff are written. -l a seconds time as parameter switches into the insecurest mode, it overwrites the file only once with 0xff. -v turn verbose mode on. -z last wipe mode writes zeros instead of random data file file to delete. Wildcards are of course allowed. For unix: you need write permissions. For msdos: It may be hidden, system, readonly etc. we dont care. target-directory target is a directory in the filesystem to write to. swap_filesystem your swap filesystem. Unmount it first!! only tested on linux Options may be applied like "-lfv", "-l -f -v" or a mix. Note: If you use a gnu-compactible linux, you can use the patch rm.diff included in the package to put the features from srm into your normal rm. Just enter your fileutils-3.16 directory, type "patch < rm.diff" and then "make". You need at least one -s switch to activate (1 overwrite). Note that -sss is needed for full security. NOTE: For the linux kernel module, you just have to do "insmod sdel-mod" to load the module. After that, all files, which are deleted by any program are then wiped once before the space is marked as free..
