FOG data wiping algorithms
Hello,
For some compliance needs, I’m looking for technical details regarding used data wiping algorithms by FOG. Could you please be more precise as below :
- Simple Overwrite with 1 pass
- DOD 5220.22-M with 3 passes
- Gutmann with 35 passes
According to the official documentation, I only found this section here : https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Managing_FOG#Advanced_Tasks

This tasks writes random data to the entire surface area of the disk.Full Wipe :
