Indeed, the default behavior of the shred command on many Unix systems is to overwrite the file 25 times (!!) with random data, with the option of adding a final overwrite with zeros in an attempt to hide the fact that shred was even used.

Note, however, that most programs like shred can only work at the file level -- filesystems which do not guarantee that overwritten bytes are written to the same place on disk will likely leave residual chunks of the data file behind in unallocated space.

Of course, probably the best way to keep that data from being recovered would probably be to overwrite it with random data many time, zero it, delete it, cause a head crash on the occupied sectors, then melt the platters Smile | :)
