Stellar Information Systems has launched Stellar Wipe 1.0 for Mac OS X (US$39 for a single user license). It’s for permanently erasing all data from Mac hard disks, making its recovery impossible.
It’s a data erasure tool that uses methods to overwrite and remove all the traces of data stored on the hard disk. A demo version of the product is available at Stellar’s web site.
Stellar Wipe (Macintosh): wipes files and folders individually; wipes system traces like access logs, install logs, and console logs; wipes Web browsers’ data including Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, Page History, and Form Values; supports wiping data for Web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Camino, Opera OmniWeb, and Safari; wipes unused hard disk space; offers selective wiping algorithms; and lets you schedule the wipe process.
