Guys / Gals

I need some software to totally wipe a couple of hard drives and make sure the data is gone forever. It's nothing illegal, I just want to teach my soon to be ex-boss a lesson.

If you do something with the intention of causing your boss loss, and it does, then in principle he has the basis of a civil claim against you for damages. Personally I'd put this sort of 'parting blow' in the same category as giving your boss a piece of your mind before you go. It's a bad idea. It will do you no good, and can end up doing you considerable harm in future. Always best to leave on good terms (and try to leave some written evidence, friendly goodbye letter etc) even if you do it through gritted teath.

Its not so much to cause loss, more to make sure what I own doesn't get exploited. Its software that I wrote, and under the current circumstances still own the rights to.

As it turns out, the need to delete may well be moot, as the software in its standard form is pretty difficult to use and needs a lot of explanation. I have also checked and realised the only place my other software (the interesting stuff) has ever been installed is on my own personal laptop, so that stuff is going nowhere.
