[AusNOG] disposal of equipment (lighthearted comment)

[Mark Currie]

<lighthearted>

While smashing is good, a CF card at 100m+ as a  bulls eye for range shooting is a challenge and great fun! Use a good high-powered rifle round (.222 /.220 swift or larger) and you will likely not find any fragment of the card! Mind you a Dirty Harry 44 at 20m will do the same! Good reason to get out the office for 1/2 day....going to destroy high risk memory cards! Can even claim it as an expense!

Are you kidding?

Secure disposal of networking equipment is the responsibility of a network engineer. Why the hell would sys admin care?????

We use a DSD wipe method though a live CD called boot and nuke. If we can't find a way to securely delete (i.e. onboard flash) and it is a high risk device, we smash! Lots of fun.

Hi

So there are programs for wiping hard drives, but what about flash drives in networking devices (or inbuilt storage)  is a simple del of files acceptable or writing over the file with ?

What process are people using to clean their equipment before selling
