Kill a USB Drive.

Hey guys quick question.

Anyone know of some software which i can run on USB drives that will completely kill it so its undiscovered?

Cheers

Why would you want to do this?

I hear that the old hammer is good for these things...

haha.

No no, sensitive data needs deleting thats all.

I said use an hammer or water but they want it done by a program...

Don't know about a program that will completely kill it but there's plenty of secure erase programs around that will make anything on it unrecoverable.

Bucket of water and a screwdriver.

If the drive is going to be killed anyway, I'd vote for the hammer method. Or have some fun with a blow torch.

dban is the most credible software option (under windows, otherwise dd works just fine)

fire is pretty effective though.
