Darik's Boot and Nuke, also known as DBAN /ˈdiːbæn/, is a free and
open-source project hosted on SourceForge.[2] The program is designed to
securely erase a hard disk until its data is permanently removed and no
longer recoverable, which is achieved by overwriting the data with
pseudorandom numbers generated by Mersenne Twister or ISAAC. The Gutmann
method, Quick Erase, DoD Short (3 passes), and DOD 5220.22-M (7 passes) are
also included as options to handle data remanence. DBAN can be booted from
a CD, DVD, USB flash drive or diskless using a Preboot Execution
Environment. It is based on Linux and supports PATA (IDE), SCSI and SATA
hard drives. DBAN can be configured to automatically wipe every hard disk
that it sees on a system or entire network of systems, making it very
useful for unattended data destruction scenarios. DBAN exists for x86
systems.[3]
