## Secure wipe individual file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
shred -v -n 3 ./file
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
> Thou might not be secure if your filesystem use COW (copy-on-write) (like btrfs,zfs)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Secure wipe entire drive
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
shred -v -n 3 /dev/HDD
|
||
|
|
# Or if you are paranoid - slower
|
||
|
|
shred -v -n 7 /dev/HDD
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
> Long. Expect waiting a day or two.
