NShred description
Erase and destroy any Windows folder or file using low level
overwrite and standard procedures.
Definitively erase and destroy any Windows folder or file using low
level overwrite and standard procedures: US Department of Defense
DOD 5220.22-M (5 overwrites); Guttmann (32 overwrites); Complex (3
overwrites); Simple (1 overwrite).
With NShred you can eliminate confidential information and data
from PC drives. Name, size, contents of erased file or folder can
never be recovered, by any software or hardware means. NShred is a
tool that helps you to erase and destroy a folder or file.
When you delete a file or a folder in Windows it is not
actually erased. Simply, the hard disk descriptor table is updated
and the file entry is removed. So, the actual bytes of the file
remain on the disk.
Even when the file area is overwritten, it is still possibile
to recover data, by applying certain laboratory procedures since
it's rare that a portion of the hard disk is rewritten more than
5/10 times. It has been calculated that information is completely
unrecoverable only after more than 30 rewrites.
NShred detects the file area on the hard disk or other
drive. This area includes metadata on file, such as name and date.
The area is then rewritten 'n' times depending on the procedure.
For instance, with DOD algorithm, the file area is rewritten first
with "0" bit, then with "1" bit, then with a random byte.
After rewriting, the file area is reduced to zero, the file
renamed with random characters and finally deleted. This procedure
guarantees that not even a single byte from the former file can
ever be retrieved.
While the majority of shredding tools are "brute force" and
"operating system agnostic" erasing tools, NShred behaves
accordingly to the underlying Operating System (OS), denying the
user the possibility to turn it unstable. For instance, if the OS
denies a delete operation, NShred will NOT erase the file.
The user will be able to erase it later when it is no more
locked by the OS.
Plus, NShred is a .NET Framework Smart Client application,
which ensure the user with a superior robustness and full
compatibility and integration with the latest Microsoft Operating
Systems and tools.
