Sockdown Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 What are the different in the settings in the secure deletion. 1) Smiple Overwrite (1Pass) 2) DOD 5220.22M (3 passes) 3) NSA (7 passes) 4) Guttmann (35 passes) I do not know which one to choose or what they mean. Thanks Simple Overwrite: Overwrites with data on the file with Random Bytes I suppose. U.S. DoD 5220.22-M (3-pass standard): A three-pass wipe. The 1st pass writes all 0's to the drive, the 2nd pass writes all 1's to the drive and the 3rd pass writes a random pattern. example: 0000 0000, followed by 1111 1111, then 1001 0111. U.S. DoD 5220-22.M (7-pass standard): A seven-pass wipe using random characters, complements of characters, and random data streams. Guttman: here ########################### From 1 to 4, number 1 being the fastest deletion cause it overwrites the file once and 4 the slowest since it has to overwrite the file 35 times. -Sockdown- public void dammit() { damn.cmon(forYou); damn.delete(You); System.out.println("Mwuhahahaha"); } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
