Why not ? I think of it like in Victorian times when you could
visit Bedlam and poke a stick at the loonys chained to the wall.

We get to do that from the comfort of our homes etc
and dont risk getting bitten by a rabid loony either.

The only way to eliminate information on your hard disc drive is the
heat the platters beyond Curie point. This will ensure all data is
completely and permanently lost.

Don't let the Central Security Service oppress you. If you feel they
are on your case, then burn up your HDD platters. There is no other
way out.


Good luck



....maybe...as long as the loonie does not send a "bug" your way....

A load of buckshot from a 10 gauge at close range should
do a good job.


thermite!


That would do the trick and the stuff is very easy to make.

Iron oxide (Fe 2O 3 or Fe3O 4 ) with aluminum metal is the classic
thermite mixture. The particle size of the aluminum should be
somewhat coarse to prevent the reaction from being too rapid.

it's just the major problem with most thermites is getting them to
ignite, and a strong first fire is usually needed.

You don't need to heat it. Just scratch the platter, grind them!

BTW, are you fighting a war?

It isnt that hard

Pointless tho, a decent security wipe works fine with a drive that has no
spared sectors.

Yes, but the thermite option is a lot more fun, or the
10 gauge if you're a redneck.

They will come to you, or you can hire them.
