// ERASE MODES
Two Modes, One Choice

> Quick Mode

~15-20 min / 80GB
  • 1-pass zero fill (0x00)
  • All sectors including MBR
  • Auto-starts after 3s GRUB timeout
  • Ideal for internet cafes & labs
  • Sufficient for MBR malware removal

> Full Mode

~2+ hours / 80GB
  • DoD 5220.22-M (7-pass)
  • 0x00 → 0xFF → Random → repeat
  • Military-grade data destruction
  • For sensitive data
  • Manual selection in GRUB menu
// FEATURES
Why FastBorn?

Zero-Touch

Plug USB, power on, don't touch anything. Starts in 3 seconds.

Parallel Wipe

All disks (SATA, NVMe, HDD) wiped simultaneously.

Verification

Reads 100 random sectors post-wipe to confirm zeroed.

JSON Log

Erasure report per disk. Enterprise-grade audit trail.

~20MB ISO

Runs from RAM. Never touches disks during boot.

Auto-Reboot

Auto restart after wipe. Pull USB, insert OS media.

Classified — Operational Warning
This tool performs irreversible military-grade
data destruction. There is no undo.
  • All internal disks are wiped on boot — no confirmation prompt in auto mode
  • Data destroyed with DoD 5220.22-M (7-pass) is unrecoverable by any known method
  • Do not insert this USB into the wrong machine — you will lose everything
  • USB boot drive is auto-excluded (removable=1 detection) — but verify your setup
  • 5-second abort window before erasure begins — Ctrl+C to cancel
FastBorn v1.0 — Use at your own risk — No warranty expressed or implied
