Hi,

Recently my linux box was hacked.  I re-installed the OS but I am still
having problems with the machine.  At this stage I am unsure whether these
problems are due a hardware or software issue.

I would like to totally wipe the hard disk and start again just in case the
hackers have left any files.  There seems to be loads of disk wiping
utilities for Windows but I cannot see a way in which I can totally wipe the
disk.  Does anyone know of a utility or command?

Also does anyone know of a hardware checking facility?  I am using SuSE 7.2.
I am getting to the stage when I am considering junking the whole machine,
but this seems a real waste.  Comments from anyone who has been hacked on
what they did?

Thanks in advance.

Dan
