I was responding to your very first post, but I was stoned so if I misinterpreted, then my apologies. :smile:

Personally if there's something I don't want someone to find, it gets PGP encrypted with a 4096-bit key and put onto removable media of some kind (CD, USB Key). The original, unencrypted data gets cleaned up with BCWipe or something else that handles the DoD 5200.28-STD standard (or similar). If I plan on playing with data that's so sensitive I wouldn't even want it hanging out in any caches, I'll use a LiveCD so that the HDD isn't touched at all.

This way, the data has been wiped from the HDD, and the sensitive data is encrypted on media that can be physically destroyed with little effort. Torching a USB key or grinding a CD into the ground would suffice nicely. If anyone gets ahold of the media, they still need the PGP key and it's passphrase to access it. :thumbup:

IME, the best way to keep authorities from gathering incriminating evidence from your HDD, is to not keep incriminating evidence on your HDD.

Heh, no problem. It just cracks me up to see someone say that an entire harddrive can be reliably erased in seconds when I've personally sat through HOURS of wiping HIPAA-regulated drives. Even a 4GB drive on a 80MB/sec bus takes about a full hour to wipe to DoD standards.

I view it as if someone really wants the information there's pretty much nothing you can do other than physically destroying the drive (go to a metal processing plant and 'accidentally' drop it into molten steel) to prevent them from recovering some amount of data.
