Nah, I'm throwing out an old laptop and just wanted to make sure the hard drive was completely erased. I'm not even close to a computer expert, and it took a lot of research to find all this shit out. I actually wiped it with DBAN first, then read about all this secure erase shit, and had to reinstall the OS, drivers, etc, and secure erase the mother fucker before I felt comfortable throwing it out.
It's also useful if you get a virus/trojen, or if your computer is just fucking up and running slow. Trust me, if you ever need to erase a hard drive, I just saved you a lot of searching through bullshit on the internet.
Also, there is more to anti-forensics than just disk wiping. I don't know shit about encryption and other stuff, but I thought maybe some other people would be interested in talking about anti-forensics. I think it's a pretty interesting subject.
Also, just trying to do my part to add content to Nubblies.
