rm -Rf /

# ;) it'll never work again!

on a serious note this only removes the system file nodeID so the data is
all still there and an educated person could recover it.

if your really worried about the data getting into the wrong hands, send
them a replacement HDD and ask them to send the used one in the unit back.
We do this swap out on managed secure servers on HDD per client and the
old/broken ones are destroyed.

hope that helps

Subject: [cobalt-security] RAQ3 - Remotely Wipe Drive Clean


Hello,

I have been renting a RAQ3 month-by-month from an out-of-state
colocatation facility. I no longer need to rent the box and want to
know the best way to wipe the hard drive clean; to remove all traces of
my data. I will need to do this from a telnet session as I do not have
physical access to the box.

Any suggestions on how I should do this?

thanx,
chaim
