We should add a @Dashrender detector that just renders special ads for you

WTH?
I'm not complaining, Just explaining why I love tree style tabs... if the page took full advantage I might be forced back to top tabs

LOL - neither do I, but I'd say my browser is probably at 80-90%. like you, I rarely run any application at full screen on my desktop.

She is a statistics nerd not a gamer unfortunately. She's really into Nate Silver. I'm at a loss.

No, it is called over zealous moderation.
Leave proof or it can never be anything else.

10 hours to go!!!
So here is a question..
When you run something like this, how do you test/verify its effectiveness?
Not like I actually care because I am going to be reusing the device in a controlled environment and did not actually even care about this 4 pass 0/1/0/1 fill that it did.
Just curious.
-
Verify the effectiveness of a disk wipe? That's an interesting question. Never really considered that, but should have. I mean you can do basic things like run Recuva and see what it sees. But we can probably trust that that won't work. But would a good forensic shop get data? Honestly, I bet the only way to test that would be do spot check it by attempting all out recovery on some disks at random that you have done this to.

If it just fills it with zeros you could do a hex dump and it will show a couple lines of all zeros and then just an ellipses and then the very last line.

Drives I am concerned about are shredded after having DBAN ran in autonuke mode.
So I would never deal with paying for this, but this process did make me curious.

I recall reading an article on the effectiveness of disk wipes and apparently it's incredibly effective. That's just hearsay until I find the article but I specifically recall "forensic data experts" being unable to recover anything after a single pass of random 1/0s.

Would not be surprised. If you think about how drives store data, after a pass it would be SO hard to determine what had been there at different points in history.

Working and relaxing, but not too much right now.

@JaredBusch get a dump from the disk and compare it to a backup maybe?
BTW: 0/1/0/1 is not that secure, there may still be magnetic echoes. DBAN is always nice to actually kill something, physical shredding is even better

I decided to default the unit, not realizing that it would do this to the drives.
