A stronger form of the above is scrub. http://www.llnl.gov/linux/scrub/scrub.html But both of the above only clear files. I don't know of a linux tool to wipe deleted space and/or slack space. Those types of tools do exist for Windows. Oh, wait a second the above DD is meant to use all the freespace, so deleted files should get zero'ed, but slack space, directory entries, inodes, etc. will still not be wiped.
