What is ABAN?

ABAN is a boot CD/USB stick for easily and securely wiping all the disks in a machine. Boot disks are available for both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. As a boot disk, it doesn't care what OS is on the machine (or if there is any OS at all). Wipe is done by writing random bytes (from a cryptographic PRNG) to the disks.

It is based on Debian Live and is under active development. Currently, it works best with hard drives but ATA SANITIZE and Secure Erase support are planned to fully support SSDs.

It works well for erasing many servers at once; once its booted you can remove the boot media and use it to boot the next machine.

Operation is automatic and the PC speaker can be used to operate it without a monitor or keyboard.
