Active KillDisk Pro Suite 5.0 by FOSI
Active KillDisk is a quality security application that destroys data permanently from any computer that can be started using a DOS bootable floppy disk, USB Flash or CD-ROM. Access to the drive's data is made on the physical level via the Basic Input-Output Subsystem (BIOS), bypassing the operating systems logical drive structure organization. Regardless of the operating system, file systems or type of machine, this utility can destroy all data on all storage devices. Thus it does not matter operating systems and file systems located on the machine, it can be DOS, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT/2000/2003/XP, Linux, Unix for PC. Active KillDisk Professional conforms to US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard DoD 5220.22-M. You can be sure that once you wipe a disk with Active KillDisk, sensitive information is destroyed forever.If you use FDISK, FORMAT utilities, or DELETE standard operating system command for data removal, there is always a chance to recover deleted files (using undelete file or some data recovery software) and use against the owner's will. We highly recommend you to run this FREE utility for the hard and floppy drives you want to dispose of, recycle, re-use, sell or donate to somebody.

This tools are posted in combination of Filesharing eMule, BitTorrent etc... to demonstrate how deleted files can be recovered but as well to check your Hardware reseller if a new storage device is really new or just an exchange and was have already an owner before.
Missing functions are:
- Read S.M.A.R.T. Status include reset/manipulation info of the data such as reset device runtime, censor info from device. ->> See Hard Drive Inspector
- Print analysis result incl. Storage Device Name with Serial Number and details.
Compare to MS format with command /U (format x: /u /...) utility shows that nothing is deleted. Compare to LOW LEVEL Format tools almost available from every HDD Manufactures for free (command prompt tools, NO GUI, if you didn't forgot how to deal with command prompt applications) it's a "nice program" for the generation who do not know much about dos/linux command prompt operation tools.
Test if you BUY as NEW declared storage Hardware devices (USB Memory, HDD, Cam,.. Hardware include any storage such as a new computer, laptop, mobile phone with storage) if its really new or something was already stored on it. Is your Shop, Reseller, Mail order,... good or do they sell used for new?
As a security option I suggest to use the known methods as by secure systems are in use: HDD manufactures developers tools to lock devices in step deep 3,4,5 / motor spin up off* (Bios/Firmware Device Drive Tools) Active lock after Bios Device ID initialization w/o visual password interrupt display question.
Not the easy to bypass password only prompt after BIOS init. restriction setting in Mainboard Bios and/or HDD Bios.
Very funny is that locked devices given back to service technician even to retailers are almost unable to check ever that a device have been locked with spin up motor from them developers tools. They will just call it as "broken".
It's not far to change easy a "unwanted" HDD in warranty time by using the free developer tools to download from the manufactures support sites.
Some may be able by buying a "new" HDD to restore the first owners wpa.dbl / oembios info by a windows pre installed OEM version and other software genuine registration keys if its ever been in use before but future more the whole filesharing download folders if someone have ever used emule/torrent or any Filesharing services such as Rapidshare include the premium account cookie.
Repair Service may have a whole collection from peoples private data include all access passwords/mail/registration serials,... from customer returned storage devices. A undercover service technician in a bigger retailer store working for MPAA / RIAA will have possible more success as monitoring uTorrent/BitTorrent's Webserver.

*Some may know that changing the circuits (hdd bios and all electronic with the same unit for the device) will give the result by the first bootup that it's locked. It will before access can be given writes the lock in step 3, 4 (Motor spin up lock) automatically back (the "locked device information") Since the password is stored on the surface, it cannot be removed by swapping circuit boards. And, since the Firmware Area cannot be read with any widely available software, the password cannot be easily read or removed. Motor Spin up lock will not even show a password prompt. The disk lock is a built-in security feature in the disk. It is part of the ATA specification, and thus not specific to any brand or device.
A disk always has two passwords: A User password and a Master password. Most disks support a Master Password Revision Code, which can tell you if the Master password has been changed, or it it still the factory default. The revision code is word 92 in the IDENTIFY response. A value of 0xFFFE means the Master password is unchanged.
A disk can be locked in two modes: High security mode or Maximum security mode. Bit 8 in word 128 of the IDENTIFY response tell you which mode your disk is in: 0 = High, 1 = Maximum.
In High security mode, you can unlock the disk with either the user or master password, using the "SECURITY UNLOCK DEVICE" ATA command. There is an attempt limit, normally set to 5, after which you must power cycle or hard-reset the disk before you can attempt again.
In Maximum security mode, you cannot unlock the disk! The only way to get the disk back to a usable state is to issue the SECURITY ERASE PREPARE command, immediately followed by SECURITY ERASE UNIT. The SECURITY ERASE UNIT command requires the Master password and will completely erase all data on the disk. The operation is rather slow, expect half an hour or more for big disks. (Word 89 in the IDENTIFY response indicates how long the operation will take. atapwd - DDL2 - DDL3 - Mirrors)
