If someone is wiping a HD they don't want any data to be read off of it by anyone. My solution is to smash the HD into a million pieces with a hammer.
That's how they handle such situations in a classified data computing area. New HDs are cheap.

DBAN is free, you have to put it on the USB drive yourself. Wiped many a disk with it.

Agreed. If the drive is still able to be written to I will usually let it write 0's and 1's for a couple of days off in the corner and then take the drive out and smash it to pieces. But if someone isn't capable of doing that mangling the drive is quite effective, and fun in most cases.
For those giving a PC away or selling it this is when the data wipe apps would come into play.

What Podesta didn't do is put 2FA on his Gmail account and then he fell for some phishing. Oops.

Why is there a 12 minute video to tell you how to "wipe any PC in 2 minutes?"
Mechanical drives - Strong magnets then beat to death with a hammer.
SSD's - Hammer only.

I had a few look like that when I was done. 6.5x284, and 30.06 from an M1 Garand. LOL

I always pull HDD apart to get the magnets (after wiping and writing 2-3 passes), then smash the platters.
Does Linux know about Knoppix? Knoppix CDs, DVDs, and USB sticks have been doing the same thing, and much more, for 18 years. Yes, a rifle, shotgun, and/or hammer are the quickest way, particularly if you don't need to reuse the drive.
