It uses shred, in the hope it will somedays learn how to shred stuff on
FLASH based devices securely too, once that has become possible.
BTW: This is a good example where technology failed to keep the needs of
users in mind.
Failed completely.
Since ever it's a problem for people to securely delete files on storage.
Also it should be very simple to securely erase files on block based
devices, people have to try cruel ways in the hope to get securely rid
of files nobody else should be able to see ever again.
It's almost unbelievable how completely the IT industry (including the
field I'm working myself: SW) failed in regard to that since 30 years or
even more.
And it isn't such that this is a new requirement. Humans are doing such
since thousands of years. They use fire to get rid of paper documents
and even the old egypts were able to destroyed stuff on stones by using
simple steps. Just the IT failed completely.
Really unbelievable.
So, sorry if anyone got bored by this mail, but I think that really has
to be said and repeated.
