Hi,
Im pretty new to this whole forensic stuff so ive been playing around with some tools and applications. Ive installed "Recover My Files" and to great shock i discovered that files ive deleted in 2005 are still recovereable!
Now i understand that this probably goes for all Window smachines/versions but surely there is a add-on or application which one can install that makes sure that deleted files are overwritten or nuked (like DBAN) ?
Just to makeeveryday deleting so much safer.
Anyone know of such Util ?
Yeah…a couple of seconds on Google will get you more than you could imagine…

True. Or even a search of these forums.

If you get it from here there is a higher probability that it will work as well 😉
Eraser..use eraser.

Okay,
Minus 10 points for me -(
Eraser is exactly what i was looking for )
I presume that a low lvl format of my current drive and a clean OS install will erase everything thats on there already ? Or should i run a Nuke disk just incase?

If you're after a clean disk prior to install, run DBAN with the single-pass no-verify options set. Unless you're concerned that the NSA may seize your drive and recover incriminating data by the use of scanning-electron microscopy, a good, quick single pass of zeros will do the job nicely.
BTW In another thread I stated that I'd been able to recover data after a single pass of zeros. I have tried but have been unable to reproduce this.
Thanks for the follow-up with us AWTLPI.
