Wipedicks is a secure file and drive wiping utility that overwrites data with randomized ASCII characters instead of traditional zero-filling methods. The tool provides functionality to securely delete files, directories, and entire storage devices by overwriting the original data multiple times. Users can specify the number of overwrite rounds to increase security effectiveness. Key features include: - File and directory wiping with recursive directory parsing - Device-level wiping capabilities for complete drive sanitization - Configurable number of overwrite rounds for enhanced security - Free space wiping through large temporary file creation - Alternative to standard zero-fill wiping methods The tool operates by replacing original file content with randomized ASCII patterns, making data recovery significantly more difficult compared to simple file deletion. This approach provides data sanitization for sensitive information removal from storage media.
