+~~REVEAL~~

  ===== Secure Wipe with  Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) =====
-To wipe the computers we use [[http://www.dban.org/|DBAN]].  DBAN is a simple program that can be burn onto a CD/DVD or loaded over a network,that erased data using industry standard algorithms.

 Your computer will boot and let you choose from a number of options for wiping the drive, ranging from simple to paranoid.
 The official version of DBAN doesn't work on all the SLQ donated computers so we've made a build from an unofficial [[https://github.com/NHellFire/dban|fork]], which can be burnt to a DVD.
