[AusNOG] disposal of equipment

[Daniel Watson]

I have heard that a large amount of data centres in the US use these types of devices,

I imagine this would be fun (For a few weeks at least) :D

Another idea might be to look at a LOW level format which would flip the 0 and 1's numerous times, this is another good way of destroying data

So at what point do you destroy and not sell.

So I am thinking inbuilt cmos/flash in a closed box, I could write a file over the config file, but does that really work, you need multiple write over the same blocks on HDs.  Do flash/cmos have the same issue.

I am thinking about password for OSPF or BGP setups, all the per device password .... ie enable login die with the device..
