The most recent version of DBAN is 2.3.0, which was released on 4 June 2015. In September 2012, Blancco of Finland announced its acquisition of DBAN. ĭBAN, like other methods of data erasure, is suitable for use prior to computer recycling for personal or commercial situations, such as donating or selling a computer. DBAN can be configured to automatically wipe every hard disk that it sees on a system or entire network of systems, making it very useful for unattended data destruction scenarios. It is based on Linux and supports PATA (IDE), SCSI and SATA hard drives.
The Gutmann method, Quick Erase, DoD Short (3 passes), and DOD 5220.22-M (7 passes) are also included as options to handle data remanence.ĭBAN can be booted from a CD, DVD, USB flash drive or diskless using a Preboot Execution Environment. The program is designed to securely erase a hard disk until its data is permanently removed and no longer recoverable, which is achieved by overwriting the data with pseudorandom numbers generated by Mersenne Twister or ISAAC. Darik's Boot and Nuke, also known as DBAN / ˈ d iː b æ n/, is a free and open-source project hosted on SourceForge.
