Bootable USB · Offline · No Cloud Required
Certified data erasure for IT professionals. Boot, wipe, and generate a signed certificate — all without touching a network.
Process
Insert the DriveNuke USB into any x86-64 machine and boot. The kiosk UI launches automatically — no installation, no login.
Fill in customer name, operator, and asset tags. DriveNuke auto-detects all drives and protects the boot USB from accidental erasure.
Confirm, count down, and wipe. DriveNuke selects the strongest available method per drive and generates a signed PDF certificate for each.
Remove the USB and plug into your workstation. Certificates and the CSV activity log are stored on the USB's persistence partition.
Technical Spec
DriveNuke detects each drive's type and attempts the strongest supported method first, falling back automatically if the hardware doesn't support it.
Cryptographic or block-level erase initiated directly by the controller firmware.
ATA security commands that instruct the drive to erase its own flash cells or magnetic platters.
Full sector-by-sector overwrite with zeros via dd, with direct I/O to bypass OS caches.
Certificate
Each wipe generates a check-sized PDF certificate (8.5 × 3.5"), a machine-readable JSON record, and a plain-text summary — stored offline on the USB persistence partition.
Certificates are customer-branded and include full host system info, drive details, wipe method used, and an honest disclaimer about certification scope.
Download
Download the ISO, flash it to a USB drive (4 GB minimum), and boot. Runs entirely offline on any x86-64 system. Build from source or use the pre-built image.
