> Hi! I think writing random data some times (3) on disk is secret. DoD 5220-22.M Standard Wipe: "A seven-pass wipe using random characters, complements of characters, and random data streams." Would anyone say, this extra writing of complements of characters makes wiping with random data more secret? Or can DoD 5220-22.M be considered antiquated? btw: Does anyone have information about DoD 5220-22.M tests? regards, gimeshell
