Darik's Boot and Nuke (commonly known as DBAN) is an open source project hosted on Sourceforge. The program is designed to securely wipe a hard disk until data is no longer recoverable, by overwriting the data with random numbers generated by Mersenne twister (a PRNG).
DBAN is booted from a floppy disk, CD, or USB flash drive and it is based on Linux. It supports IDE, SCSI and SATA hard drives.
