Data Destruction Validation

[Brendan Schmolz]

I think this topic has been covered before, but what is everyone using for Validation of Data Destruction for R2 purposes?

 

We are currently using a program called Get Data Back and running a sample of some of the wiped drives from Blancco through it to see if we can get any data recovered.

Friends,

 

I use a “Validator” by destruct data.  We take a few once a month and do a complete run.  The nice part is that it understands that there is a “tattoo” or record of the wipe on the first sector.  It is fast and easy.

 

I have copied Mike from destruct data if anyone wants to talk to him.

Hi Brendon, 

Have you ever found data resident after the Blancco wipe?

Thanks,

Tom

We've tried recovering data from a wiped drive (3 pass) using foremost, a tool written by the NSA with no success. We also tested foremost against one of our own systems where we originally installed Windows and then installed Linux (only formatting) and foremost recovered a lot of original Windows files (even though the drive currently had Linux installed). It just goes to show how ineffective formatting/reinstalling an OS is.

Friends,

 

Here is a report that we do every quarter for hard drive validation.

 

Let me know if you want any clarification.
