In this world, yet the E-waste is something that everyone ought to know, but in reality it is not. If you decide to sell, donate or throw away a hard drive that stores all important information, which may include bank statements, e-books, symbols, etc., what would you do? Of course, you're not only stupid to give away. You can delete your data, reformat and give it. Do you? But I do not know that the deleted data can be recovered easily, as I said earlier post? Yes your data is therefore vulnerable to data theft and can lead to a lot of disasters.
In 2003, two MIT students bought 158 used hard drives at various locations and found more than 5,000 credit card numbers, medical reports, personal and financial information companies, and several gigabytes worth of personal e-mail pornography in these units.
So I suggest you get ahead with the safest technologies available here. You must erase your hard drive or other storage media before losing his property. You first need a disk wiping tool. There are many free and paid them there. For example, "WipeDrive 5" is priced at $ 39.95. This could be bad news for you, but the good news is that the free are also quite effective.
You can probably think what this is or how they differ. There is a cleaning algorithm, which may or may not be different in each program. Most algorithms to replace all data with a number, zero or another, and have to format it. The more you do the safer. Disk wiping software erases everything you have and have never met Master Boot Record, partition table, and each sector of the disk drive. This is a standard for clean government, DoD 5220.22-M, but is only one remedy for the security environment, which specifies three iterations to write to the hard drive 6 times. Each iteration has 2 assists, 1 and 0 are overwritten on the data.There is a method known as the Gutmann method, which erases writing a series of 35 models in the region to be deleted.
It is not necessary for you to learn more about the operation, because they have no encryption, you use one. Return to Microsoft, which is Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN called), which is a very high level of security software that clean, which is free. There are more like "Kill Disk", which supports 17 safety standards.
Drying takes a lot of time. KillDisk takes about 12 hours after the end of a passage of 13 GB of data. So you need to begin erasing weeks before the giveaway. But time is as precious as our knowledge!
