cholla Posted February 28, 2006 CID Share Posted February 28, 2006 I split this topic from Search Engine Removal of Personal Info -Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft as requested (cholla) jeffwalker9999 ;I knew you could find forum posts with a search engine if you have a common user name like mine then there is other stuff among them. For the personal information it seems most of the sites for this want a fee for the information. I will have to see if I can find it but I ran across some software for erasing old deleted data off a hard drive like the forensic information the police extract.They said they didn't sell this to individuals.Only to certain businesses & the government.Not that I have anything that would incriminate me that I know of .But what if a hacker could pull it off your HD remotely. This is the software: Data Elimination Suite http://www.forensics-intl.com/suite3.html M-Sweep Pro is part of the suite. http://www.forensics-intl.com/ms.html This is part of their site info below. Who can, and can't, get M-Sweep Pro? Unfortunately this software can be used to eliminate evidence of criminal violations and terrorist activities. For that reason, NTI restricts the sale of the product to Fortune 1000 corporations, government agencies, pre-qualified lawfirms, pre-qualified accounting firms, hospitals and pre-qualified law enforcement agencies.

Guest jeffwalker9999 Posted March 1, 2006 CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 www.deletenow.com good site and works to get rid of info from web and search engines I know how and have applications to totally wipe and not be forensic traceable ((delete software to DOJ and ISO standards )) for harddrives but not for web sites or search engines uninstaller 4 bcwipe others I also have access to gov and hacker based applications - too if needed I too have nothing that would incriminate me but these are applications tools and not for search engines or web sites again finding old info on search engines is not a good thing and a good way to cheaply have them deleted is this site you ain't going to id theft me - lol and hope I dont want my info out there for public viewing - so this site is a good idea and does work I have found a new service/site that will delete your personal info from world wide search engines and they are cheap and a very good service check out this site http://www.deletenow.com/ "Most people don't know there is a big chance your name, address, phone number, and even a map to your house are currently available within seconds. And it doesn't take a programmer to find you; anyone with even the most basic computer skills and access to well known search engines, directories and databases can find your personal information quickly. " On a personal note: My old address in Canada and Phoenix was on the web and that was from like 1992 and is now deleted Also: I did not know that my posts on forums were on search engines all I had to do is search my user id to locate it and now they are deleted -thanks to this service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted March 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 php ;You should check out the link.I have throughly erased a HD to do a clean install or thought I did.It showed no OS afterward & 0 data.The software that the link site sells some of it is for retreiving data from an erased HD. I have some software called IBM PC Doctor that does an extra good jod of erasing for a clean install.But if the sales hype on the site is correct someone with the right software could still retreive data from the erased HD.

If a drive is properly wiped, you can't get anything from it (anything useful anyway) @jeffwalker9999... quit posting that over and over (site name and description) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted March 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 If a drive is properly wiped, you can't get anything from it (anything useful anyway) I don't have any of the retreival software so I can't say what it would find.Have you ever used any of the DOD level retreival software to see what it found on an "erased HD"?

php Posted March 1, 2006 CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 Harddrive cleaner: Quart of gasoline and match! lol... I'm not sure that would do it... Oxyacetylene torch on the other hand... Although I still think it's fun to throw them off a mezzanine until they're in pieces... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted March 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 I have a freind that works at a scrap metal yard maybe he could run the electro magnet on his crane over the HD. Aggr3 ;I have a degauser on my monitor menu but I don't think I can get it to my HD. Seriuosly I would like to see what data that an expert could get off a HD that had just been formatted & was supposedly erased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted March 1, 2006 CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 Formatting doesn't really do much... especially quick formatting. (just erases the partition table) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
