LGT: SHRED-GUI. Destroy your sensitive data safety and easy.

[dominico2000]

Introduce

About week ago I upload a post with NTFSFIX-GUI App. I'm a fan of Linux system and I want to popularize it so I decided to make more programs like that. I decided to make from that a series named LGT - Linux Graphical Tools.

Today I created graphical overlay for Linux console tool called shred. Thats tool can help you to permanenty destroy sensitive (or not :) ) data (files) by overwriting it few times. Files after that operation were had been unrestorable. You can use it for destroying data on disks too (but for SSD better method is buld-in SecureErase mode ,because it remove data from service space too).

Hey! Glad to see you back on steem, I liked your 2 older projects - interfaces for existing software running in the terminal is often overlooked, but very, very important to some end users. Keep it up!
