MediaEraser
MediaEraser application is a software designed for erasing information.
MediaEraser application is a software designed for erasing information from various digital media storage devices.
This functionality is based on worldwide standards of overwriting saved data. The user can choose from a handful of algorithms used to overwrite the whole drive area multiple times with selected characters.
The US Department of Defense recommends overwriting the data three times using the DoD 5220.22-M algorithm. In the Mediaeraser application apart from the algorithm recommended by the US DoD there are several others which allow to overwrite the media even eight times.
Main features:
-Definite and irreversible data erasure ‘bit by bit’ from physical drives as well as partitions
-Wiping the slack space where there can be stored some unwanted fragments of data after deleting files
-Definite and irreversible erasure of files and folders saved on hard drives, Flash memory, disks, etc.
-Erasing physical drives with boot disks
-Efficiency and speed of application operation guaranteed by proficient algorithm
-Erasing by means of randomly generated strings – overwriting data with random characters up to eight times
-Possibility of erasing data using the US DoD 520.22-M algorithm recommended by the US -Department of Defense
-Possibility of defining data erasure method – overwriting data with selected characters a specified number of times
-Supports UNICODE which enables for processing multilingual file systems as well as international diacritical marks
-Supports FAT and NTFS (Windows™ family) file systems
-Possibility of erasing data from writeable drives attached to the computer network
-Full Windows XP and 2000 application functionality
