Looking for a good digital shredder

[hiker056]

Perferably something with Guttman level security.

Darik's Boot and Nuke is free and will do Guttman level wipes.

Kremlin - good for secure wiping and encrypting files/folders/drives. Lots of encryption choices.

So, with a Guttman shredder, is it ok to give away or sell a used computer that had highly sensitive information on it?

 

[jdemmi]

I think so....run it more than once to be extra safe...

Or you could remove the cover of hard drive and start hacking on the exposed platters with a hatchet or drilling doing massive trauma to the platters.

hiker056 - if you really wish to make sure that no sensitive data gets out, then do as goombawaho suggests, and physically destroy the platters, then sell the rest minus the HDD...

I actually did that recently to two computers. My technique invovled a wire brush and corrosive liquids. The whole thing was strangely therapeutic...
