Getting rid of an old computer?

Tuesday, September 21st, 2004

WARNING: Running this tool WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON A DISK IN A WAY THAT IS NOT RECOVERABLE!!!! DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Secure that computer before donating or recycling it. You are recycling old computers right? Just because you format or FDisk your computer does not mean that all your old data is gone. In order to make sure that no data can be recovered before doing away with an old computer use DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke) utility to securely delete old data for hard drives. I highly recommend this tool to ensure that your private information is not stolen. I use this tool at work to securely delete data from Desktops and servers. If you like the tool then send Darik a donation (note to self) in thanks for securing your data.

Ever need to find out who has dial in permissions or all domain members with an exchange email address. This website has some common LDAP queries.
