The Hammer Data Destruction for the 21st Century
What is the Hammer? The compact Hammer enables a “security erase” command capable of purging digital data on up to 4 hard drives simultaneously, or link with USB hubs to manage dozens of hard drives. The Hammer can automatically format drives after erasure and can be used to rollout a new operating system to multiple workstations. It provides an audit trail via non-volatile on-board RAM to track device activity for printing or storing.
Why is End of Life Data Destruction Important? • It effects everyone! • According to 2007 Ponemon Study. • Cost Per Incident rose from $182 to $197 per record. • Average total per-incident cost in 2007 were $6.3 million. • Cost of Lost Business increased by 30%. • Do companies really pay these cost? • What is the cost to your reputation?
What is “Security Erase”? • Is a destructive command that is embedded in the firmware of the hard disk drive. • Embedded in hard drives starting in 2002. • Assigns a hex value of “0” thus making the hard drive “null”. • Data is not recoverable by any means. • Hits hard drive sector by sector. • Is an atomic process and will not stop until completed. • Meets the NIST SP 800-88 “purge” standard for sanitizing digital media.
Who developed “Security Erase”? • The NSA and the University of San Diego Magnetic Research Institute. • Dr. Gordon Hughes • Develop a means for certifiably sanitizing hard drives beyond forensic recovery while retaining the ability to re-use or safely transport for destruction. • Implemented by global hard drive manufacturers in 2002.
How does “Security Erase” work in the Hammer? • The Hammer will activate the “Security Erase” command embedded in the firmware of the hard drive. • Starts at both ends of the sector and works toward the middle to maximize coverage. • Uses “Bang Disk” overwriting command if security erase command is not available. • Security Erase is not available to drives manufactured before 2002. • First assigns 125 bit code to hard drive at beginning of process. • Drive is locked down until security erase completes. • Drive is locked down if process is stopped before complete. • Only way to unlock drive is complete security erase process. • Security Erase is up to 18 times faster than software overwrite programs. • No sight license required.

Hammer Menu - Running Secure Erase • Hook up Drives • Power On • Hammer will scan for drives. • “Start” will show on screen when complete. • Displays “Start”. • Press “Right” button and “continue” will show on screen. • Displays “Continue” • To continue with default Erasure hit “Right” button. • Hammer will display “SE” with corresponding (< or >). • Example: • Hammer will estimate time to complete purging time. (As displayed above.) • Time is based upon last drive to complete erasure. • When Hammer completes process the display will change from SE to D. PATA PATA < SE ERASE SE> < SE 0018 SE> SATA SATA <D D > <D D >
