Hook up a good-quality * digitizing oscilloscope to the output of the head preamplifier and copy * the high-res digitized data to a computer for some off-line analysis. * Read the "current" data and average all the pulses together to get an * "average" pulse on the disk. Subtract this average pulse from all of * the actual pulses and you can clearly see the "echo" of the previous * data on the disk. * * Real hard drives have to balance the cost of the media, the head, * and the read circuitry. They use better-quality media than absolutely * necessary to limit the cost of the read circuitry. By throwing that * assumption out, and the assumption that you want the data processed * as fast as the hard drive can spin, you can do better. * * If asked to wipe a file, this also unlinks it, renaming it to in a * clever way to try to leave no trace of the original filename. * * This was inspired by a desire to improve on some code titled: * Wipe V1.0-- Overwrite and delete files. S. 2/3/96 * but I've rewritten everything here so completely that no trace of * the original remains. * * Thanks to: * Bob Jenkins, for his good RNG work and patience with the FSF copyright * paperwork. * Jim Meyering, for his work merging this into the GNU fileutils while * still letting me feel a sense of ownership and pride. Getting me to * tolerate the GNU brace style was quite a feat of diplomacy. * Paul Eggert, for lots of useful discussion and code. I disagree with * an awful lot of his suggestions, but they're disagreements worth having. * * Things to think about: * - Security: Is there any risk to the race * between overwriting and unlinking a file? Will it do anything * drastically bad if told to attack a named pipe or socket? */ /* The official name of this program (e.g., no `g' prefix). */ #define PROGRAM_NAME "shred" #define AUTHORS "Colin Plumb" #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H # include #endif #include #include #include #include #include #include "system.h" #include "xstrtol.h" #include "dirname.h" #include "error.h" #include "fcntl--.h" #include "getpagesize.h" #include "human.h" #include "inttostr.h" #include "quotearg.h" /* For quotearg_colon */ #include "quote.h" /* For quotearg_colon */ #include "randint.h" #include "randread.h" /* Default number of times to overwrite. */ enum { DEFAULT_PASSES = 25 }; /* How many seconds to wait before checking whether to output another verbose output line. */ enum { VERBOSE_UPDATE = 5 }; /* Sector size and corresponding mask, for recovering after write failures.
