Freeware: File Shredding

	Easy Shred  License: Freeware
	Easy Shred is probably one of the smallest and most efficient programs available for shredding files on your PC. As most people know using the trash can to "trash" a file only removes its reference and it is very easy for the file to be recovered. There are many free deleted file recovery tools available. On the other hand Easy Shred uses a negative algorithm to overwrite your files and folders multiple times. The end result of this is a file that is extremely difficult / costly to have recovered and for all but the most determined of people permanently removed. Whilst some programs can identify the names of shredded files I've yet to find a program that could successfully recover the file data. Shredding can be initiated by either dragging or dropping your files / folders over the Easy Shred desktop icon or by right clicking on any files or folders you want shredding and using the Easy Shred option.

	Zilla Free DataNuker  License: Freeware
	Zilla Data Nuker literally destroys files, free space and your Recycle Bin contents instead of only deleting them. That means your data contents once overwritten and destroyed It can't be recovered. The user therefore should be sure of the files, folders .etc. he/she wants to shred.There are many safeguards built into the Zilla Data Nuker program to warn the user.Windows allocates clusters for new files (and extending existing files) from one end of the disk and moving towards the other end. Accordingly, the user for example if deleting files near the end of the disk, it might be very long before those clusters get used again.Therefore, shredding a disk's free space ensures that any deleted data stored in unallocated clusters will be completely shredded, and all the bits and pieces of left over data from deleted files will be destroyed.Generally speaking Windows stores files using two steps:A directory entry and A series of one or more clusters on a disk.When the user deletes a file using windows the file's data doesn't actually get deleted from disk. Windows simply marks the file's clusters as available for reuse, then marks that file's directory entry as deleted (from the directories available) by replacing the first character of the file's name with a special character. Now if those clusters don't get reused for another file, they are vulnerable and can be retrieved by those who know where and how to look for it.Adding one byte to the directory that was deleted will allow the retrieve of the entire file that has been deleted. This is used in most of the "Unerase" utilities functions. Zilla Data Nuker makes it virtually impossible to retrieve data from a file because it literally overwrites the file's data clusters before deleting the file. A "quick" shred overwrites the file once, filling its data clusters with zeroes. A "Thorough" shred overwrites the file maximum 10 times, using varying bit patterns each time Author: ZillaSoft.ws| Date: 15-04-2007 | Size: 124 KB

	WonderWebWare File Splitter  License: Freeware
	File Splitter is a free tool that will split any file into pieces of any selected size. The difference between this file splitter and other similar products is that here you can select the exact split point which is extremely useful when the split position does matter. The best example is also the best explanation of why I made this tool: I had a situation with splitting 70MB SQL dump files, because phpMyAdmin doesn't accept so big files. But in this case we cannot split the long file on random place we must be sure that the sql commands will not be broken. In addition – the windows standard Notepad isn't good choice for large files in the case with 70MB txt file it just crashed. So I build this File Splitter for my own use, but then decided to publish it (with several useful additions) for everyone in my situation Author: WonderWebWare.com| Date: 9-92-2007 | Size: 547 KB

As an one way Hash is generated, if you forget the password or lose the password_file it is impossible to recover the original file.
