Package: nwipe
Version: 0.26-1
Severity: wishlist
As I understand it:
1. the default nwipe method is DoD Short.
2. the DoD Short method is specifically designed for the physical structure
of MFM drives, and
doesn't really work on other kinds of drives.
3. they stopped making MFM drives in, like, 1990.
4. the PRNG method doesn't care about the physical structure of your
drives, so unless you work for the US government, you should just
always use PRNG.
If all of those things are true,
can we please change the nwipe default method to PRNG?
The idea is to protect people who just run nwipe and
ASSUME the defaults are reasonably sensible.
