    Cool but it’s windows… If you’re going to be serious about privacy there’s a lot more that needs to be done, like switching to a Linux distro.

    Curious choice to write a c++ program for this instead of doing the same thing in a powershell script.

    One feature it should have: delete itself after running to leave no traces of such a tool.

    You don’t need to do any of this.

    If your drive is not encrypted, then this won’t save you. It takes time to overwrite files and if your computer were the target of any adversary, they would simply unplug it immediately and then image it.

    If your drive is encrypted, then you can just overwrite the headers that contain the key slots. This would take hundredths of a second.
