Advanced File Shredder and E-mail Shredder For Outlook Software for Windows

Mutilate File Wiper
$20 - Craig Christensen

Normal File Deletion is NOT secure. Deleting files merely removes the file system's pointer to the file, ALL THE DATA REMAINS ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. The remaining data can be easily recovered with data recovery or forensic software. Your sensitive files may also be vulnerable to advanced recovery techniques, EVEN WHEN OVERWRITTEN, by analyzing latent magnetic traces.

Mutilate File Wiper is a file shredder or file eraser that securely deletes sensitive files. Use Mutilate to prevent attempts to recover sensitive deleted files from your hard drive by data recovery or forensic software. The program overwrites all bits in selected files, including cluster slack space, with binary 1's, 0's, and/or random bit patterns. Choose from three security levels and a customizable level with up to 297 overwrite passes. Mutilate supports complete folder deletions including subfolders. With Mutilate's disk free space wiper, you can even use Mutilate as a file remover to destroy previously deleted files on your hard drive. And, you can store up to thirteen folders in Power Mutilator for quick access to files or folders you target routinely.

E-mail Shredder for Outlook
$39.95 - SafeIT Security

SafeIT E-mail Shredder for Outlook is a software application for permanently removing (shredding) old and deleted e-mails from your Outlook Personal Storage (.PST) file. Selected e-mails will be shredded along with all the unused space in your PST-file. This includes discarded e-mails, fragments of previously deleted e-mails and old attachments. The product is completely integrated in Microsoft Office and will enhance the way you work with Microsoft Outlook.

When you use Microsoft Outlook your e-mails are automatically and consistently duplicated, left behind and hidden away. An e-mail can exist up to eight times in your PST-file and traces of old discarded e-mails can exist from the time you first created your Outlook file. In Microsoft Outlook; when you delete an e-mail, empty the ?Deleted Items? folder, or even compress the PST-file, the information is NOT removed from your computer. These commands only alter the structure of the PST-file, leaving most of the data intact and recoverable with software tools easily available. This means that someone else can recreate old e-mails that you thought you have already deleted.

SafeIT E-mail Shredder for Outlook will permanently remove an e-mail by overwriting its content a number of times with pre-defined data patterns. This will make recovery impossible, even with advanced software and hardware analysis tools. Because Microsoft Outlook creates multiple duplicates of a single e-mail simply shredding the selected e-mail is not enough. Therefore, when you select a single e-mail, all the unused space of your PST-file will be shredded. This is done to ensure that every trace of the e-mail is permanently removed - even the small fragments that are commonly scattered all through the PST-file.

SafeIT E-mail Shredder for Outlook currently supports 11 different algorithms ranging from 1 run up to 35 runs. This includes HMG Infosec Standard 5 (Baseline and Enhanced), DOD 5220.22-M and Peter Gutmann's algorithm.

Gerolf Markup Shredder
$0 - Gerolf Diethelm Brettschneider

Gerolf Markup Shredder (GMS) is a parser for text files using the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). With the help of the old-and-stable TeX typesetting engine, GMS can produce high-quality Portable Document Files (PDF) as output. Markup Shredder still isn't such an intelligent renderer as Mozilla or Internet Explorer: It cannot handle auto-width tables, and it supports only a subset of HTML element tags, attributes and Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) properties. Being a young program, it is also a bit buggy. Users may have to slightly modify their input files to get a satisfactory PDF conversion, so they should acquire basic knowledge of the markup language.
Gerolf Markup Shredder runs under Linux, Dos and Windows on Intel-386 compatible machines. It comes with a web browser interface, which allows to execute the GMS main functions with just one mouse click from the button bar. Everything can be displayed within the same framework, even the typesetting result, using the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in. This interface is written in PHP language and requires installation of the XAMPP package on the computer. There is also a simple text mode interface, which does not depend on any additional software. Its menu can only be accessed via keystrokes. Text editor, HTML browser and PDF reader are executed as external programs. Using a command line interface, Markup Shredder can also be integrated in advanced editors like Emacs (Linux) or HTML-Kit (Windows-32).
