ya-wipe is a tool that effectively degausses the surface of a hard disk, making it virtually impossible to retrieve the data that was stored on it. This tool is designed to make sure that sensitive data is completely erased from magnetic media.

Splitting wipe.c into seperate modules, removal of raw /dev/urandom passes, switching back to the Mersenne Twister (much faster and uses much less entropy from /dev/urandom), changes to a lot of command line options, proper syscall wrappers, and improved per-file fault tolerance (a failure during wiping of one file doesn't cause the rest to be aborted).
Fixes for serious hash IO bugs, new Debian package scripts, minor block devices fixes (still untested), an updated man page, and simplified debug builds.
