Protect your privacy by wiping files

Why do you need file shredder?

Because normal file deletion is insecure.
When you delete files in DOS or Windows, the operation system doesn't really delete the files. Instead of that, it only masks the files name with some special character, and the files content are still on the disk, so the files are not really deleted.
There are many disk utility can recover such 'deleted' files from your disk.
So simple deletion is not secure for sensitive data.
The 'Wipe' feature in FileCake can overwrite the files several times and the files can't be recovered.

FileCake supports four basic shredder algorithm,

Select file shredder algorithm in FileCake

Simple shredder:

Overwrite the file content with 0 for one time. This is very fast algorithm, but you should only choose it for not very important data. For sensitive data, choose US DoD 5220.22-M or Gutmann algorithm.

Express shredder:

Overwrite the file content three times, one is with 0, then with random data, finally with all 1.

DoD 5220.22-M:

Based on national "Industrial Security Program Operating Manual", NISPOM (also known as US DoD 5220.22-M), of United States Department of Defense. This algorithm is secure and fast enough for most area.

Gutmann algorithm:

Based on Peter Gutmann's paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory". This is one of the most secure algorithm and the files wiped by it are impossible recovered. But it's very slow, with 35 times overwriting.

Beside above four algorithms, you can also define the wiping algorithm by yourself.

More features of FileCake:

Find duplicate files with different strategy. Fast and safely detects all duplicate files.

Export found file list to any file format.

Multiple powerful search filters. File name, size, date, time, attribute, etc.

Multiple options for file comparison.

Compare text file line by line. Best to find out duplicate source code for programmers.

Find any files without checking duplicate. FileCake can be an excellent substitute of Windows Explorer search function.

Search in result file set.

Simultaneously find more than one disk without lower the speed. Then all results can be merged. Save much time if you have more than one disk (Floppy, USB, MP3 storage, and Local Area Network).

Intuitive interface. Easy to use.

Fast searching algorithm. Kernel algorithm is implemented in low level assembly language.

View many kinds of files in the internal viewer.

Windows Explorer context menu. Do any operation in FileCake that can be done in Explorer. Open, copy, delete, send to, and more.
