Description:

DiskWiper is a command line based utility that allows one to overwrite all the 
data on a SCSI device with a single byte value.  This can be useful for 
filesystem development when you want to start with a clean device, or for semi-
paranoid people who would like to ensure that their old data files are 
completely and near irretrievably removed from their hard drive.

This utility can only be used on SCSI devices at this time, and should not be 
used while a filesystem is mounted on the device that is to be wiped.


*WARNING*
This tool is designed to delete everything on your hard drive.  Use with 
extreme caution.
