Introduce

About week ago I upload an overlay NTFSFIX-GUI App. I'm a fan of Linux system and I want to popularize it so I decided to make more programs like that. I decided to make from that a series named LGT - Linux Graphical Tools.

Today I created graphical overlay for Linux console tool called shred. Thats tool can help you to permanenty destroy sensitive (or not :) ) data (files) by overwriting it few times. Files after that operation were had been unrestorable. You can use it for destroying data on disks too (but for SSD better method is buld-in SecureErase mode ,because it remove data from service space too).

Features

  • Enforcing shred
  • Changing number of overwriting iterations
  • Removing file after overwrite
  • Overwriting by zeros
  • Direct output from ntfsfix in output window

Technology Stack

  • Java 8
  • JavaFX (FXML)
  • Linux Bash Command for launching shred tool
