What is the difference between the above two commands? Did I miss something?
See my second post where I replaced zero by random...
I don't know what "n times more secure" means. Could you please explain? Does that mean that, with n times as much work, one can still recover the information?
That was (still is?) the case... They say that nowdays once is enough... And I guess the NSA and co. would like us to believe that... muahahahaaa!!!! ^_^ If the DoD "considers overwriting acceptable for clearing magnetic media _within the same security area/zone_", there must be a reason. But yeah, I tend to be a little paranoid most of the times...
