It's kind of sloppy because the mangentic disc parts should really have been turned into a fine sand and scattered throughout various bodies of water to be sure.

>>57094462

>not liquefying the platters

Charcoal forge, make one. All you need is a charcoal chimney starter, a bunch of charcoal and literally anything that blows air (shop vac, air pump, leaf blower)

Lump wood charcoal burns hotter, can easily hit 1300 degrees and turn platters into nothing but a puddle

How about using mechanical grinder or schredder for magnectic discs?

>>57094371
Just use DBAN. Good grief.

>>57094480
I couldn't use any methods using fire or the microwave. The only reason I did such a sloppy job is because it's really not worth anyone wading through shit and piss in a sewage system. I would be amazed if anyone went through the trouble. But it's not really worth it, although I'd have a nice story to tell about the absurdity of a police state.

>>57094371
Nigger, not even the US government can recover data after a three pass overwrite with zeroes.

If it's good enough for the military, it's good enough for your CP collection.

>>57094498
I erased the hard drive before. First I reencrypted the drive, then formated it, then used bleachbit, then formated it again, then finally dd'd it with all 0s.

Just throw it in the ocean nigga...

Next you'll be telling us how to get across a small park lake using a cargo boat.

>>57094371

jesus fucking shit OP are you 12 or something.

take the disk apart and set aside the platters, everything else goes in the bin. scratch the fuck out of the platters then hammer them in an offset manner across a length of timber so as to bend the platter so it will never spin again, then put it in the bin and never do what ever the fuck you did again.

Sick projection

100% foolproof way of TOTAL data deletion is to throw your hard drive into a volcano.

Dude, first rule of not getting into any problems: don't look suspicious.
If you are making a point of showing you take great precautions, it means you hold something of great value.
If by any chance you actually had important stuff, the moment you posted about it you may have made the interest in you.
Unless you actually already are being monitored, and then you should just destroy all evidence. This includes no posting on 4chan.

>>57095210
Then why would you need to destroy that HDD instead of i dont know, running DBAN on it.

>>57095296

>>57094513
Throwing stuff into sewage isn't new or original and it definitely won't save you if need to rely on hiding stuff through that method.

>>57094371
they already read all your data when it was plugged in

>>57095356
Do you really think I give a flying fuck about some random strangers doubts from the internet?

a simple 7 pass overwrite is good enough. you can even test to see if you can recover data using recovery programs when you're done. Sure technically someone with $10,000+ equipment and time could recover some stuff but is what you're hiding really worth that much to justify spending that much time destroying it?

wtf are you even doing that requires you to destroy it in some way

Your ISP probably has a record of all the CP you downloaded, even just using Tor is enough to let them know youre up to some shit

Raw sewage doesn't just get dumped into the ocean, it's not the 18th Century. It gets processed, and part of that process is separating out things like metals from the other matter. The government doesn't need to go out of their way to get your shitdisk, they would already be doing it.

Also, don't flush wet wipes down the toilet, they collect together and clog the pipes up with literal one ton balls of them.

You could have saved yourself some work by just getting a mains step up transformer that can step up 120/240V to a few kV.

Just use the platter to short the secondary windings. It won't last long.

Why would you destroy a HDD? Are you too retarded to use dd? Enjoying wasting money and resources?
God damnit op, you're such an edgy little shit. Get out

>>57094371
You could've just dropped the HDD inside 10 M sulfuric acid, neutralized it with NaOH and dumped it down the drain.

Some of this stuff is so retarded it's pathetic.

Use LUKS encrypted partition on usbstick.

Grind it to dust with a bench grinder.
Throw the dust in the trash. Or save it in a baggie for the NSA. They can't recover it.

OP might not be as batshit autist as everyone thinks.

In 50 years, we'll probably have technology that can quickly break any encryption scheme created today. Additionally, there will probably be tech that can recover HDD data no matter how many times it was overwritten.

Just think, you might be in your seventies one day, and some punk kids find an old HDD you sold 50 years ago, and they recover EVERYTHING, and post it all on social media.

Then your family disowns you after finding out all your personal tastes and dank memes you circulated at the time.

>>57094371
Congrats on disposing of hazardous waste illegally then bragging about it here.

>flushed down the toilet.. scatter effectively throughout sewage system

You're fucking retarded. Not only is that excessively bad for the environment, but you're stupid enough to actually do that when you could easily zero a drove or magnet it into oblivion. No need to waste aluminum jesus christ.

>>57094371
You should poop on it before you flush just to be sure

>>57094371
I think you might be a little too overkill paranoid.

>Run dban with preferred wipe pattern
>Put acetalyne torch to the drive until platters are no longer magnetic

And even that is way overkill unless you have a nation-state hunting you that is willing to use electron microscopes to dig out data from a wiped platter.

And even that has varying levels of accuracy depending on a number of factors.
I have never seen any tests that prove that even a single bit that has been overwritten with random data then zeroed has been recovered.

>>57096603
random is actually better because the random looks like data. All zeros- there is still some magnatic material aligned with what the data held. A device exists that can read the drive platter and determine with some degree of statistical significance what the prior data was.

If you all zero the drive then you can determine before you look at the data that the hidden data is not a zero.

of course several passes of either would render the device ineffective.


Anyway, OP is a moran for asking something like this on a korean spices blog.
