dd'ing old drives (the ones that I didn't smash up)
@cwebber
You shouldn't fill the drives with plain zeros (that doesn't really destroy the information), but with random bits, e.g. using symmetrically encrypted zeros.
Or use `shred`.
@amiloradovsky @cwebber for the normal user, 0s is enough right? You need special tools to read what was there before the 0s, right?
@abc
Yes, you need some electronic equipment to read the plates' weak/residual magnetic properties. — That's not something you can do using just the standard HDD interfaces (buses & protocols). It's one of those hardcore infosec tricks.
