Unlike the standard rm, it overwrites +the data in the target files before unlinkg them. This prevents command-line +recovery of the data by examining the raw block device. It may also help +frustrate physical examination of the disk, although it's unlikely that +completely protects against this type of recovery. + +Srm uses algorithms found in _Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and +Solid-State Memory_ by Peter Gutmann and THC Secure Delete (the overwrite, +truncate, rename, unlink sequence). + +All users, but especially Linux users, should be aware that srm will only +work on file systems that overwrite blocks in place. In particular, it will +_NOT_ work on resiserfs or the vast majority of journaled file systems. It +should work on ext2, FAT-based file systems, and the BSD native file system. +Ext3 users should be especially careful as it can be set to journal data as +well, which is an obvious route to reconstructing information. diff --git a/security/srm/Makefile b/security/srm/Makefile new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..c09b542257e --- /dev/null +++ b/security/srm/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +# $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.1.1.1 2004/03/01 09:43:06 cube Exp $ +# + +DISTNAME= srm-1.2.8 +CATEGORIES= security +MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE:=srm/} + +MAINTAINER= cube@NetBSD.org +HOMEPAGE= http://srm.sourceforge.net/ +COMMENT= Secure replacement for rm(1) + +USE_BUILDLINK3= yes +GNU_CONFIGURE= yes + +.include "../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk" diff --git a/security/srm/PLIST b/security/srm/PLIST new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..621fd2154b4 --- /dev/null +++ b/security/srm/PLIST @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +@comment $NetBSD: PLIST,v 1.1.1.1 2004/03/01 09:43:06 cube Exp $ +bin/srm +man/man1/srm.1 diff --git a/security/srm/distinfo b/security/srm/distinfo new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..dc0be63cb50 --- /dev/null +++ b/security/srm/distinfo @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +$NetBSD: distinfo,v 1.1.1.1 2004/03/01 09:43:07 cube Exp $ + +SHA1 (srm-1.2.8.tar.gz) = 8b7aafc95b3ef67e2c737030567222bf50082188 +Size (srm-1.2.8.tar.gz) = 88067 bytes |
