Hiding emails from Google @Ladadadada: I don't know, maybe if I don't get ads relating to the topic that I am trying to hide... I was just hoping for some expert answers on how (in general) to hide things from the automated scanners. I am not looking for an absolute guarantee. |

Hiding emails from Google The assumption in my questions is that I continue to use Gmail. As mentioned, I am not interested in strong encryption. |

Hiding emails from Google Thanks for this answer. I am only interested in hiding from the automated scripts (as I was trying to say in my question). |

Writing file shredder Thanks for the answer. After researching the issue a bit on my own, I have come to the same conclusion: That my suggested program will not really be that secure. But at least it should be better than simply deleting the file with "del finlename" (or rm or whatever). Oon gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/… that it seems that shred also only overwrites the data like I suggest. Do you have a link to the source code for shred? (I guess I could download the whole coreutils package, but...) |

Writing file shredder Thanks for the answer. So you are saying that if I want to just focus on the software version (1) overwriting with new "random" data should be done (2) Including overwriting with non-random data as a decoy. So if I do that, will I then get the best that one can do with software alone? How do I check if a program like what I suggest written in c++ will actually overwrite the bytes and not just do "copy on write"? |

Writing file shredder @DavidSchwartz: I am still somewhat new to c++, and this was the only way that I could figure out how to overwrite a file. Are there better ways? |

Writing file shredder @Matt: Yes, I will update the code. I had intended to do that. |

Writing file shredder @GrahamHill: I am mostly doing this as an exercise for my self (this is not homework). But if it is possible, I would like to actually write a shredder that could function as a real tool. Are you saying that just overwriting the file a number of times wouldn't be "enough"? |

Writing file shredder @TerryChia: So you are saying that the file might still be recoverable? How can I improve on this? |
