Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) is a free, open source data destruction program designed to securely erase all data from hard drives and other storage devices. It is an application that can be used to completely erase all data on a hard drive or other storage device, including all partitions and files, as well as any operating system that may be installed. DBAN provides a secure and reliable way to completely erase hard drives, making them unrecoverable even by the most sophisticated data recovery techniques. The program is easy to use and can be used on any computer or laptop with a CD or USB drive. DBAN can also be used to create a bootable disk, allowing users to securely erase the entire drive without having to boot up the computer. The software is regularly updated with new data wiping algorithms and is suitable for both home and corporate users.
DBAN does not require an operating system like Windows because it is designed to erase drives.
