wiping files
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a free software to wipe files (permanently delete files) on Windows. In the past I used PGP, but I prefer a free software. I'm using TrueCrypt, but I didn't find any way to wipe files with TrueCrypt. I tried Google but I can't find this software.

You are aware that both the programs you specified are for encryption and not for wiping files, right? -- Shimi ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

It's just a file shredder (similar to Linux's 'shred'), it has nothing to do with PGP's [encryption] functionality...

You use Windows. You are looking for tools. You prefer free software. How come you don't install Cygwin on every Windows box as the first thing after first boot? ;-) It comes with shred(1).

RE: wiping files
Hi, If you're stuck with Windows, then Eraser (http://eraser.heidi.ie/) is a nice shred(1) equivalent + integration into Windows (e.g., right-click on a file gives you 'Erase' in the menu, support for copy+erase original, etc.).

Remote control on Linux machine
Is there any solution (preferably free as in free speech) for remote control on Linux machine, similar to logmein for Windows? Something that can work if the machine is behind NAT. -- Ori Idan ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: wiping files
Thank you. Wiping files is part of pretty good privacy (PGP) - if you want privacy you need to wipe your deleted files.

I would trust having them all at encrypted-state at all times (and avoiding using swap) to be a must better approach. I couldn't care less if someone takes my random data which he has no key for, and read it for fun... I suspect this is not too different than reading /dev/random. -- Shimi ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: IPv6
Here is what looks like a good source to track the progress of ipv6 daily: http://bgp.he.net/ipv6-progress-report.cgi Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

Will they change them to IPv6? Will I have to change DNS settings for my domain names? And when will this happen? Possibly never, but at least for a long time. The current DNS system is IPv4 only, but serves both IPv4 and IPv6. If you have your DNS set up to include IPv6, the information will be available, but the client needs to be able to interpet it. Since BIND is open source software, nothing is preventing you or anyone else from adding IPv6 support to it. Eventually someone will do it, and 100% IPv6 networks will become possible. To clarify some misconceptions: Bind IPv6 is in working condition. Further more, it is production ready as demonstrated by this article http://www.debian-administration.org/article/655/Running_IPv6_in_practice ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
