Report: ToolWipeLocker (New Variant)

Date: October 26, 2023 Subject: Analysis of ToolWipeLocker New Variant Classification: Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) / Security Risk

Case Study 2: The Journalist

Problem: A journalist crossing an international border needed to ensure their travel laptop contained no sensitive source data. Solution: They used the Portable OS Mode on a USB stick. At the checkpoint, they booted into ToolWipeLocker, ran a single-pass zero wipe on the system drive, and reinstalled the OS. Border agents found no recoverable files. toolwipelocker new

Example workflows

• Securely erase a single file (dry run then execute):
  1. Preview: toolwipelocker new --dry-run --mode=random path/to/file
  2. Execute: toolwipelocker new --mode=random path/to/file
• Wipe free space on a laptop before donation: toolwipelocker new --target=free-space --mode=zero --confirm
• Sanitize an entire decommissioned drive with token lock: token=$(toolwipelocker new --generate-lock 30m) toolwipelocker new --target=/dev/sdx --mode=3pass --lock=$token

Chapter 3: Supported Algorithms (Old vs. New)

ToolWipeLocker New supports 18 erasure standards, but the "New" engine optimizes the most popular ones for speed. Report: ToolWipeLocker (New Variant) Date: October 26, 2023

| Standard | Passes | Best For | Speed (1TB HDD) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | DoD 5220.22-M (3-pass) | 3 | US Government unclassified | 45 min | | DoD 5220.22-M (7-pass) | 7 | Top Secret residual removal | 2.5 hrs | | Peter Gutmann (35-pass) | 35 | Legacy MFM/RLL drives (obsolete) | 12 hrs | | NIST 800-88 Clear | 1 | SSD sanitize cmd (New optimized) | 2 min | | Random vs Zero (User defined) | Variable | General business | 25 min | | One-Pass Zero (New Turbo) | 1 | Quick consumer wipe | 18 min | Securely erase a single file (dry run then execute):

Note: The "New" Turbo engine uses AVX-512 vector instructions on Intel CPUs and NEON on ARM, increasing write speeds by 40% compared to the 2023 version.

Step 3: Create with specific options (non-interactive)

toolwipelocker new secureData 500M -p MyStr0ngP@ss -a twofish -d /mnt/secure/

• Locker name: secureData
• Size: 500 MB
• Password: MyStr0ngP@ss
• Algorithm: Twofish
• Directory: /mnt/secure/

8. Post-creation actions

After creating a new locker:

• Open it: toolwipelocker open myLocker
• Add files: toolwipelocker add myLocker secret.doc
• Secure wipe & close: toolwipelocker wipe myLocker --passes 3
