I'm discussing this comment :

https://sopuli.xyz/comment/13141026

the one that you initially replied to talking about recent Spanish court case where the defendants used a 7x wipe on some drives that were required to be retained as evidence.

Im well aware sysadmins existed before 2006, and also don't see how that's relevant in context. Security practices change over the course of 18 years in IT, as they have for secure wiping data.

So am I. I'm not sure what you think wasn't relevant. It's a literal DoD spec. Yes that spec is outdated, but it's still in Dban.

You coming out of nowhere talking about how the DoD spec itself is "dead" doesn't change the fact that it's available and probably still used by many people out there. I'm willing to be that several companies have the old DoD spec embedded in their own SOPs. And I was always talking in the context of the contract work I did long ago which WAS to the old DoD spec regardless.
