Help! Customs came to my apartment

[Dr.M]

This post kind of sounds like "hey guys, whew! They dont want me, they just want me to rat on my source(s) so that they will in turn rat out thier list of thousands of customers! Isn't this great?"

Make sure your home is sparkling clean and use a good harddrive file wiper to get rid of any dubious info/email/ etc. Now is the time to be smart . Good luck bro!

Fuck that, by a new hard drive altogether and just destroy the other one with a screwdriver. Better safe than sorry.

That's their job and their good at it. They lie all the time and they are not out to help you. Well, I guess since your not too smart, maybe you should get in trouble and stay away from AS for good so other people don't go down with you.

Yes-destroy your old hard drive. Even if you clean it or mess it up with a screwdriver they can still retrieve info off of it. You need to dispose of it.

Fuck that - a screwdriver won't do jack shit when the fed have access to magnetic field readers. Like a microsope but for digital data. They use them to access data on harddrives that have been demolished with sledgehammers or have been in a fire etc . If you use a DOD certifyied file wiper ( like nortons diskwipe..etc) it will overwrite each bit 7 or more times rendering it " gone from this universe".. Much better than poking a few holes in the unit, tossing it in the garbage and waiting for them to come bust you.

Better safe than sorry

Re: giving data the boot

"Disk Wipe is a Utility which will completely overwrite and destroy all existing data on a hard disk. Every physical byte of the disk will be overwritten. This program will permanently erase and destroy all data! You may overwrite the disk as many times as you like so conforming to US Department of Defense requirements will not be a problem.

The time eventually comes where many corporations are faced with having to return or trade their leased computers. Many of these systems have hard drives with data which the corporations do not want to be seen by others. Once Disk Wipe has been run, all data from every sector will have been eliminated. Disk Wipe makes what would have taken hours, a job that can be done in minutes.

In addition, many drive overlays (DDO) or special partitioning software is not easily removed by a simple Fdisk and Format. Disk Wipe makes this task easy. Two simple steps will completely remove any DDO or special partitioning information. "

The only way to make a hard drive unaccessable to the feds is to put it somewhere that it will not be found..........Or incinerate the piece of shit.


Best bet is to just take the hard drive to a friends house or metal shop and put the fucker to the grinder till your knuckles are bleeding.

Hard is right, the old rule of thumb was formatting it (writing it with zeros) seven times was the limit as far as them retrieving data from it. There are bulk drive erasers (like tape erasers) which provide a magentic field instantly, that might help, and they probably would not want you that bad anyway, basically if you do the shit at home and they bust down the door your fucked - unless your data is offsite, or never surf for t his stuff period yada yada, just like not keeping the gear in your house.

MC...you've met enough people here to get all the info that you'll ever need via E-mail.

I'd disapear. It's not worth it. Too much to lose, way too little to gain.

If your smart, this will be your last thread. Hopefully you'll get through this shit, but you need to learn from it. Stay low key.
BTW...shoot me an E-mail any time.
