This is sufficient to keep all but a high-end forensics lab from getting anything useful off of the disk and even such a lab will have a hard time. For the OP's question, this lets him know that the disk is both clean and is still good to use. For me, if badblocks says the disk is good, it goes on the shelf as a spare until it is hopelessly obsolete. Otherwise, the disk gets used for target practice. Also, very satisfying.

Re: [CentOS] Anyone using CentOS Active Directory like system?
Thanks folks as I will build it today as a VM so I test at work on Monday. My CI wants me to try to build as much of our infrastructure servers as Linux machines as possible. Hate giving money to Microsoft...
