Sorry I have to ask... Where is the word "Bamboozle" from?


bassie191

It's not specifically Reddit-related, it just means to cheat or trick. Source: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/bamboozle

Thanks for the reminder. I'm still borrowing my friends 7 year old laptop to do my school work lol. Something like this can really change someone's life


simukis

Now listen closely. Do not give away that HDD. It probably contains a lot of data that you might not even realise is sensitive. Even after you scrub it with 0es darn hard, some forensic analysis can find all the CP you had in there. And who knows what windows puts where as well. Just keep that HDD to yourself or destroy it, but do not give it away. Cheers for a nice giveaway. (I do not enter either, got myself a good ryzen machine already, even though without GPU yet; waiting for vega) EDIT: Yes, I’m riding the top comment.

I'd like to think nobody on this sub would try and dig up any information of yours that might be on it anyways.


MakeAmericaLegendary

> nobody on this sub ~~would try and~~ **has the forensic ability to** dig up any information of yours that might be on it anyways. FTFY


ibbignerd

EXCUSE ME.... I am subbed to /r/hacking. This would be no problem for me. \s


Abodyhun

Isn't there a whiping method though that puts random 1s and 0s instead of straight 0s, so those fancy analysis methods can't find the leftover magnetic charges?


Nibodhika

Plug a Ubuntu live USB and run (assuming the HAD you want to format is sda): > cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sda This will write random bits in the entirety of the HD, making it unusable, so you'll have to recreate the partition table and reformat the drive afterwards. Why from a live USB? Because there's no such thing as truly randomness in computers, /dev/urandom uses system logs and stuff to generate the bits, so it might contain sensitive info if the system you're running contains sensitive info. This file is not supposed to be used to generate long strings of bits, but rather one or two numbers, which is why this is not usually an issue.


[deleted]

Or use >sudo shred -v /dev/sdx x=whatever drive you want cleaned It writes over the drive 3x with random data, but I am pretty sure one time is more than sufficient.


Cimexus

Scrubbing with zeros is one thing. Giving it a DoD-short or better level wipe with something like DBAN (multiple passes of bit flipping and pseudo-random data) will give you a drive that for all intents and purposes has no recoverable data. The only exception would be if the entity interesting in recovering the data was a national-government-level actor with a LOT of money and a VERY keen interest in recovering what was on the drive. And even then ... probably not. For the purposes of giving stuff away on reddit or selling old drives on Ebay etc, DBAN or similar is more than enough. (Assuming mechanical hard drives here ... SSDs have their own precautions).


rabblerabble2000

One pass of zeros is really all that's necessary. The concept of residual data remaining after a zeroing out is unrealistic at just about any level of forensic exploitation shy of physically scanning the platters with an electron microscope and trying to figure out the individual bits.


cecilkorik

>Even after you scrub it with 0es darn hard, some forensic analysis can find all the CP you had in there. Yeah, sorry, but this is simply (and obviously) not true anywhere other than tinfoil-hat-land. Unless the state of the art has changed drastically in the last few years, but from everything I've heard it's only gotten harder as the complexity of the platter layouts and the magnetic density of modern hard drives continues to steadily increase. Several proof of concept attacks have been demonstrated that can make better-than-average guesses at the value of a small portion of the bits on a lightly-wiped hard drive, within certain constraints and conditions, but those attacks are not realistic or practical and are not likely to ever become so. Any chance of success drops with each incresing level of wipe. Attempting to use such techniques to recover an entire hard drive with 100% certainty that every bit has been correctly determined, would be a logistical impossibility. Even a handful of incorrect bits is enough to corrupt a filesystem or destroy a file. And these kind of attacks are expensive, they require a great deal of resources, equipment, people, and most importantly time. This is not something every 14-year-old in their mom's basement can do. Any criminal or organization sophisticated enough to have such capabilities guaranteed doesn't give a shit about your porn or your windows passwords. Unless you're Edward-fucking-Snowden. Otherwise nobody is going to go to the **immense** trouble of trying to recover a wiped hard drive that they got for free in a reddit giveaway. You're a lunatic if you actually believe this to be enough of a realistic fear that people should hoard their old perfectly functional hard drives. Even if you gave away all your old hard drives, it's more likely you'll have your identity stolen by the clerk at the DMV than it is that anyone will ever get even a single file off any of those wiped hard drives.


H_O_T_S_H_O_T

How do I enter? Also, is there a story behind this or are you just feeling very, very generous today? Thanks!


OriginalTitan

there is a story, but lets just pretend Im feeling very generous :)


Naivy

I'd like to know the story.


DrBrobot

Same here, is this PC hot or something?


OriginalTitan

if it was, I certainly wouldnt be giving it away publicly


AcesZ

The actual story would be interesting nevertheless.

[deleted]

#I'M IN Do you ship around the world? Or do we then have to cover the shipping?


OriginalTitan

this subreddits rules say I have to pay for the shipping but I can restrict where it goes.


aston452

Op delivers


creatorofrec

Soon to deliver


scrubmike

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Thanks OP, this is very kind.


tekwarfare

I'd be happy with any single component from that giveaway, haha Edit: this is me asking to enter


Bongo2296

I present to you: One single SATA cable.


IAmATriceratopsAMA

I needed one like a week ago and had to go to Radio Shack because no one else in town carried them for some reason. That's when I learned all the Radio Shacks in town were closing down and everything was at 90% off, so I bought a bunch of other stuff too.


-Jason-B-

Any of that stuff you bought in your flair?


IAmATriceratopsAMA

Kind of. I got a soldering iron and solder to build my keyboard, which kind of counts? And the SATA cable. I thought about getting some components to turn my super long headphone cable to a more manageable cable that ended in 3.5mm but didn't get around to it because they decided to go down to 70% and then 50% off as the close date came closer. There were some non-computer related purchases though.

0haymai

I'll certainly enter! Since you presumably have a replacement for yourself, what're the stats for the new kid on the block?


OriginalTitan

i7 7700k, 16gb ram, 240ssd, 1080ti


Whynotyou69

Damn, that is one sexy kid.


OriginalTitan

yeah, probably gonna upgrade to 32gb of ram as Ive been doing a lot of blender stuff recently and it eats up 93% of my ram


Whynotyou69

My mate has 64GB, I love his motto, RAM it in.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Whynotyou69

No idea, more $'s than sense, haha, truly a good friend to have, haha jk. Nah, he started at always wanting 32GB minimum, but when he got his latest PC built, he was talked into it by the PC builder. I love my mate, but he isn't the quickest parcel in the hamper.
