Disk-Utils

This bash script provides a simple CLI for disk imaging, secure erasure and disk formatting. It uses the dd command to perform the utilities. Note that while there are multiple verification steps within the script, you should use this script with caution, for dd is nicknamed "disk destroyer" for a reason.

Features

  • Disk Imaging: Create an image of a specified disk. You should never image a disk that is in use (such as where your OS is running from).
  • Secure Erasure: Overwrite a disk with random data to securely erase it.
  • Disk Formatting: Format a disk to a specified file system.

Usage

  1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Kairos-T/Disk-Utils
  1. Navigate to the directory
cd Disk-Utils
  1. Make the script executable
chmod +x disk-utils.sh
  1. Run the script with root privileges
sudo ./disk-utils.sh
