View source for Data Destruction HOWTO

=Get a device=

==At receiving==
Data destruction, when done right, takes a long time. The donor is not likely to want to hang around and wait until it's done. Therefore, we need to store the devices securely while they wait for wiping. 
When we receive a donation, we need to get it to [[Evaluation]] ASAP. During Eval the drive(s) need to be pulled. 

==From storage==
Secure storage for devices needs to have its own inventory, which needs to be checked against the contents ''every time'' the storage is opened. This can be as simple as a list on the inside of the door, but we need to have it.

=Wipe device=

==Using DBAN==

==Using wipe==

==Using shred==
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/shred-invocation.html

Shred is part of coreutils, and therefore should be present on most GNU/Linux installs by default (not on android, nor on other BusyBox-based userland)

=Return device to inventory=

#Label device as wiped
#Mark as such in inventory
#Place in appropriate location
