| Summary: | This Wiping Tool is an anti-forensic tool that is
built to wipe data permanently from laptop’s storage. This tool
is capable to ensure the data from being recovered with any
recovery tools. The objective of building this wiping tool is to
maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the data from
unauthorized access. People tend to delete the file in normal
way, however, the file face the risk of being recovered. Hence,
the integrity and confidentiality of the deleted file cannot be
protected. Through wiping tools, the files are overwritten with
random strings to make the files no longer readable. Thus, the
integrity and the confidentiality of the file can be protected.
Regarding wiping tools, nowadays, lots of wiping tools face issue
such as data breach because the wiping tools are unable to delete
the data permanently from the devices. This situation might
affect their main function and a threat to their users. Hence, a
new wiping tool is developed to overcome the problem. A new
wiping tool named Data Wiping tool is applying two wiping
techniques. The first technique is Randomized Data while the
next one is enhancing wiping technique, known as ByteEditor.
ByteEditor is a combination of two different techniques, byte
editing and byte deletion. With the implementation of Object�Oriented methodology, this wiping tool is built. This
methodology consists of analyzing, designing, implementation
and testing. The tool is analyzed and compared with other
wiping tools before the designing of the tool start. Once the
designing is done, implementation phase take place. The code of
the tool is created using Visual Studio 2010 with C# language
and being tested their functionality to ensure the developed tool
meet the objectives of the project. This tool is believed able to
contribute to the development of wiping tools and able to solve
problems related to other wiping tools. |
