I keep coming to this thread just to read all your fueled responses. It's baiting me to post a seriously dumb question just to read the reactions in this thread. 😛Like how to drop a database?
I'm going to apply this useful knowledge right now. I have a feeling I may be back with an update.
Don't forget to format the drive after you finish with those steps and set it on fire. That way, you'll be sure the data is really gone. :hehe:
format, then low level format, then wipe via some tool that will write 0's to every sector (30 passes should suffice), then pass it through an electromagnet, then the industrial shredder. We should be good after that.
I haven't watched it myself, but they have shredders out here in Afghanistan that can shred an MRAP.
There is a show on the Science channel from time to time called "Mega Shredders" where the show the guys building those things and then using them in the field. They are awesome. I had to google what an MRAP was but I assumed it to be some sort of vehicle. (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected)

Don't forget to format the drive after you finish with those steps and set it on fire. That way, you'll be sure the data is really gone. :hehe:
But before you format the drive it's a good idea to run "sdelete -a -p 42 -s [drive letter]:\*" against the drive, just in case a good drive recovery program might find something after the cremation; and in fact it would be good also to run "sdelete -p 3 -z [drive letter]:" against it after formatting and before burning, just in case, and put the remains through a decent crusher after burning. :laugh:.
Although the randomised (42 times) then formatted then zeroised (3 times) then burnt then crushed drive should be very hard to read, some people would advocate putting the crushed ashes through a very strong varying magnetic field and then placing the result into a bath of aqua regis just in case. Personally I'm sure the final chemical attack on the data is just de trop :cool:.
No need to go through all this trouble, just give the drive to the ops team and it will be lost forever:crazy:

That's all fine and dandy, but what about the NSA back-up?

After all the talk about how to properly destroy a drive, I can't believe nobody brought up the most important part. After the secure erasure of the data, you have to take the drive to the range and shoot it with a minimum of 3 different calibers of rifle. Then, and only then, can you take it to the shredder, then burn the shredded remains.
Or, skip the whole thing and give it to the net ops guys to take care of. That, by the way, actually made laugh out loud in my office. It's the funniest thing I've read this week. Perhaps I find it so funny because it's so very, very true.
The iCloud team obviously didn't get the memo about security.

Security measures are as secure as the password the user uses 😀
