Fwd: Re: [Utility] ShredOS
From Doug Barth · Oct 23, 2024
Hi,
I just setup Ventoy using Rex's instructions and it works great. I put Rescuezilla, Clonezilla and several other ISOs on and made a system backup of my Ubuntu PC.
Also, I downloaded ShredOS, put it on the Ventoy and I intend to nuke an old laptop before I get rid of it.
Thank you for the great info on the utilties.
Doug Barth

Charles, this is Linux. There is almost always more than one way
to accomplish the same goal. You do what you think is right.

If you are going to sell your computer or donate it and you have
sensitive information stored on it, ShredOS will securely delete it as
well as the current OS. Thanks David.

What is ShredOS?
ShredOS is a USB bootable (BIOS or UEFI) small linux distribution with
the sole purpose of securely erasing the entire contents of your disks
using the program nwipe. If you are familiar with dwipe from DBAN then
you will feel right at home with ShredOS and nwipe. What are the
advantages of nwipe over dwipe/DBAN? Well as everybody probably knows,
DBAN development stopped in 2015 which means it has not received any
further bug fixes or support for new hardware since that date. Nwipe
originally was a fork of dwipe but has continued to have improvements
and bug fixes and is now available in many Linux distros. ShredOS
hopefully will always provide the latest nwipe on a up to date Linux
kernel so it will support modern hardware.
