About Permanent EraserMac OS 10.3 and 10.4 natively provide support for the permanent deletion of files with the Secure Empty Trash feature, but for those who have earlier versions of Mac OS X, Permanent Eraser is the answer to ensure that your files have been securely removed.
When you delete your files in Mac OS X, the operating system is only forgetting where those particular files are placed, while the data still physically remains on the drive. Permanent Eraser uses the same utility (srm) as the Secure Empty Trash feature when destroying your data. This program writes over your old files up to thirty-five times so the information is securely removed and can no longer be read through traditional means.
Permanent Eraser is free of charge, and the source code is also provided for educational purposes.
