I am currently working on a project where I am trying to find as many drive eraser programs as possible to show how readily available they are. Does anyone know of some good places to look?
I don't need to download them, just a list of available ones on the internet, preferrably freeware.
Thanks.
If you are having trouble merely googling for them to build a list, the answer to the readily available part must be not.
A simple google search will return multitudes.
Hi Forensicon
As dickard suggested try out Google. However, I believe Media Tools will wipe a drive, not too sure how readily available it is though.

Thanks for the responses…I have done some google searching but I either get a lot of duplicates or other jargon. I was just curious if there were any sites dedicated to listing things like this, such as any particular forums or download centers.
Let's start a list here )
Eraser (Heidi.ie)
BCWipe
DBan (bootable cd-rom)
Here's a good start. They are a little mixed in with other Anti-Forensic tools but it has a good list.

Here is a list of 118 programs (freeware & shareware) that purport to clean files and/or images

Well done tengu, you saved 118 different posts!
The list looks very comprehensive, definitely worth investigation

As dickard suggested
he he he, you called him dickard… sorry, that couldn't be avoided )
I attended a really good presentation at the HTCIA conference this year about how widnows drive wipe utilities leave traces and what their signatures are. Very informative.
