MSN keep our logs
As far as i'm aware, MSN keeps logs of ALL convos...My mate had to go to court for something, and he was sent down but he mentioned something about the police had contacted msn for message logs, dont know if its 100% true or not

Hotlinking is bad
They busted down your door?
no tear gassing the place and coming in through the windows
ohhh i wanted you to be been committing adultery and now your other half is trying to prove it to squeeze more money out of you/not allow you to get a penny
that would spice up the forums
yeah the data should be able to be retrieved see u in 3 to 5

Time to hit that button mate
Another breach of hotlinking laws, expect an early morning visit soon, JG

A myth I'm afraid, overwrite it once and it's gone.
Really? Show me this magic software that can somehow intuit what was on a particular sector prior to the current contents. I think you misunderstand the term "overwrite".

Nope, I'm fairly sure he doesn't. Hard drives rely on mechanical heads for the writing so if the head is marginally off (and we are talking millionths of an inch levels) then the data block will be overwritten only partially and this can be repeated multiple times which means given enough time, funds and knowledge plus specialised equipment (electron microscopes) it is possible to read off some or all of the data.
I think the US DoD standards are for a 9x pass to be secure, after which point if you are in that much trouble I'd suggest a non-extraditable country and preferably also deep-sixing the offending drive.

Just dont drop the soap
IIRC, if you do a 'quick' format then the data will be recoverable by software because the only thing overwritten is the partition table.
A full format will overwrite the data, making it unavailable to standard software but still easily recoverable through forensic methods which analyse the physical drive.

A simple $79 program can recover data from sectors that have been written over, what do you expect software with millions in r&d behind it can do?
The only real way to destroy data on a disk is to phsyicaly destroy it.
Ok, whats the definition of term 'overwrite' that makes it impossible for software to recover data.
I've used this software and this software to recover data that has been overwritten by my understanding of the term.
No, he does, there is no software tool that will recover data that has actually been overwritten.
You are referring to sections of a paper produced by Peter Gutmann, which specifically referenced the encoding of data on low density MFM drives, the type we stopped using in the late 80s. I suggest you follow the link and read his epilogue regarding such techniques and modern drives.

One overwrite is sufficient.
