Paranoid File Shredder, as the name implies, is a smart application that works as a remote shredding emergency tool that can wipe out information from your LAN-connected computers. If you don't have time or to manually erase data from multiple systems, this tool can help you trigger a file shredding process that renders the files unrecoverable for anybody that gets access to your machines.
To prepare your files for shredding, you have to be in the Actions tab first. From there, check the "Destroy the following files and folders" box and load up select your items. If time is of the essence and you need to at least shred a part of your information, you can set a minimum amount of bytes to be quickly erased.
Also, in the Actions tab, you can opt to notify the connected computers about the shredding — by checking the Notify LAN computer box. This feature can be used to notify multiple computer with the app installed to start the shredding process.
Moving to the Trigger tab, we can notice two options. One allows you to receive a notification from your other computers, while the other lets you create an alert icon on every system. Once activated, the alert shortcut notifies you that the time has come to destroy the files.
Paranoid File Shredder uses the DoD 5220.22-M standard method in order to shred files. Regarding how it renders your data useless, that is relatively simple, as the method writes new characters within a file's source, corrupting it and altering its original form. This way, no hardware-based recovery method will work.
Paranoid File Shredder can be a helpful tool if you care for your information security, in case your laptop gets lost or stolen or your computer is accessed by other persons, without your consent.
