Darik’s Boot and Nuke boot
Darik’s Boot and Nuke (commonly known as DBAN) is an open source project hosted on Sourceforge. The program is designed to securely wipe a hard disk until data is no longer recoverable, by overwriting the data with random numbers generated by Mersenne twister (a PRNG). The Gutmann method is included with DBAN.
DBAN can be booted from a floppy disk, CD, or USB flash drive and it is based on Linux. It supports IDE, SCSI and SATA hard drives.
