Living Room / Re: Which scripting tool do you normally use, AutoHotKey or AutoIt3?
« on: June 02, 2010, 06:35 AM »
I must add, that i am not using newest version of AutoIt though. I am still with V 3.2.12.0, as i need to run my scripts still under Win 9x, ME and such.

So i can't say anything about the new features in newer versions.

@deozaan:
-1 for DBAN - all you need is a regular Windows format - be sure to do a full format (ie, not ticking the "quick format" checkbox).

But how do you use regular Windows format on the only HDD in a PC?

Format the partition from the Windows installer disc?

Good point :/

The only thing is, IS the NSA interested in the data of MY hdd? I don't think so.  ;D

Not so fast -- how will they know until they take a look?
Do you think you are the only person to be using your PC for storage? ;)
-ewemoa (June 02, 2010, 03:48 AM)
WHAT? Others do it also? OMG! And i thought it was MY invention to do it.  ;D

Hi ewemoa (Acronym hidden for IRC channel use only <- Insider joke for regular irc channel members!)  ;D

Who am i not to believe!? Thank you for pointing that out.

BUT, what makes me REALLY suspicious is, that NSA agreed to it too. That stinks for me. I am sure they only claim that one shot overwrite is enough because they are able to recover easily and just want to keep their business as easy as possible, wrapping the public in the dream of safety. ;D

For me, this NSA agreement, is a clear sign, that i have to come back to that i have to overwrite 35+ times my hdd data (and then still use my sledgehammer at it), as i trust the NSA (and many other LEAs) as far as i am capable throwing a 16 tons stone by hand. :(

The only thing is, IS the NSA interested in the data of MY hdd? I don't think so.  ;D

THANKS to all of you!

Seems i missed a very popular application here. Shame on me  :-[ But that is why i call DC tenderly "My personal ThinkTank".  ;D

I don't have to protect military secrets on my hdd though. i just not want that my buddy, who's getting the pc, will see my pr0n collection in whole.  :P  ;D  ;D  ;D

I got DBAN now and will erase my hdd soon with it.

@fodder: Beside that i don't have to extra get DBAN while format is built in, is there anything wrong with using it vs. format?

Greetings and thx. again
