Question for the

I ran across and old utility about 6 months ago that would permanetly destory data or make the HDD unusable. It did this within approximately 5 seconds.It was simular to KILDISK but that is justa low level formatter. This util basically trashed your HDD. It worked a the BOIS level like B-n-N.
Does anyone know what it is?Huh?  I looked through my CEH lab files and was not able to find it. This util is NOT atoy for it will permantely trash a HDD.  Thanks for the info.

Nope. That what I thought it was but it is not.... I remember it from CEH material and looked at it but have never got around to dumping my disks. Now I need to blank some disk... Without using my Black-NDecker drill...  Wink

I am using DBAN (B-n-N)... The file I was looking very simular to HDKP that bsically first dumped the MBR and wrote to every block. Then ran a script that cause disk thrashing until it broke......

Thanks for your help....  But Boot-N-Nuke will work.

I'm taking a CEH boot camp next week. I have the Official EC-Council books and CDs. As I'm going through the material, I'll keep my eye out for that util.

Hard Drive Killer Pro (HDKP) 4.0

Don

That one is surely not the ultimate HDD kill utility. It's just a batch file trying to format the harddrives (all virus scanners should recognize it)

From the original website:
Quote
The program, once executed, will start eating up the hard drive, and/or infect and reboot the hard drive within a few seconds. After rebooting, all hard drives attached to the system would be  formatted (in an unrecoverable manner) within only 1 to 2 seconds, irregardless of the size of the hard drive.

That's complete nonsens. If you really want to delete data by means of a software you'll have to overwrite it several times - and that will need in any case a lot more time than a few seconds if you consider the size of an actual harddrive.
