File Wiper has three wipe methods.
File wipe methods: |
|
Standard: |
The default option. t overwrites every byte of the files to be wiped twice, once with $0 and once with $FF (hexadecimal 255). It is quite a lot more secure than Standard Wipe and only takes a little longer. However, a determined data recovery lab with modern equipment may be able to restore the data. |
|
Gutman-Method: |
35 overwrite passes |
|
Military standard: |
This is the option to use for deleting extremely sensitive data or when you have strict security regulations requiring unrecoverable deletion. When this is selected File Wiper overwrites every byte in the files to be deleted seven times: three times with $0, three times with $FF and then once with random bytes. There is no known way to restore data wiped with this method, even using the most advanced data recovery tools. |
