http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32144 add a secureDelete method to FileUtils.java Summary: add a secureDelete method to FileUtils.java Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: IO AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils Commons Fileupload uses at least the io's FileCleaner.track() method. Unfortunately, they just use the plain java File.delete() method and not a more sophisticated delete as offered in this package. Especially, if servers running the FileUpload are sitting in DMZs and forward all personal/private uploaded information in another (DB-)server behind another firewall, one would not want that if the DMZ machine gets hacked, all previous uploads that are supposedly deleted still can easily be found on the disk by a not even that skilled attacker. Therefore, it would be great to have a pgp-wipe alike secure delete method here! it would overwrite the file multiple times and probably, it this should be spawned as a separte thread since that may take longer than a state-of-the-art GUI would want to wait for such an action to complete. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
