Date: Tue Jan 17 20:51:35 2006 From: michael.holstein at csuohio.edu (Michael Holstein) Subject: Secure Delete for Windows > An exe? No source??? Just "setup.exe"???? Are you crazy? Or .. get GNU coreutils for windows : http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm and just use 'shred'. (although 'man shred' specifically makes note about journaled filesystems -- which NTFS is. I have not forensically analyzed the effectiveness of this tool on a specific file -- only on a block device). SysInternals also offers a freebie tool called 'sdelete'. Source for that is also available : http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/SDelete.html (and in the discussion about 'how sdelete works' they reference the same problem regarding journeled filesystems). If the emminently wise gent from GroundZero wishes to comment on how his perticular product addresses these issues, then that might be fodder for the list (versus the ongoing flames).
