Security - Wipe Tools

On blog was already published, some articles, mentioning several wipe tools:

Programma - HardWipe bonificare un Hard disk e cancellare i propri dati

USB Live - Creare una USB autoavviante per fare il WIPE di un Hard Disk 

Privacy - Two tools to completely wipe data and create USB/CD Live 

An alternative wipe tool could be using ABAN 

(ABAN’s name is inspired by Darik’s Boot and Nuke, an older (and unfortunately no longer maintained) program that does something very similar. But but other than that, it's completely unrelated.)
