Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
removes files, but overwrites the data first, making recovery more
difficult.
The most obvious name for the binary is 'srm', probably should be in
/usr/bin/ rather than /bin. That conflicts with the pacakge zlibc's
/usr/bin/srm.
Anyone have ideas for a replacement name?
http://srm.sourceforge.net/
The web page indicates that it is already in Debian unstable, I can't find
it.
from the package:
srm is a secure replacement for rm(1). Unlike the standard rm,
it overwrites the data in the target files before unlinkg them. This
prevents command-line recovery of the data by examining the raw block
device. It may also help frustrate physical examination of the disk,
although it's unlikely that completely protects against this type of
recovery.
Srm uses algorithms found in _Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic
and Solid-State Memory_ by Peter Gutmann and THC Secure Delete (the
overwrite, truncate, rename, unlink sequence).

GNU fileutils 'shred' does what I need so there is no reason to package
this.
