Secure File Erasure Utility (Anti-Forensics)

sys-shred is a specialized tool designed to irreversibly destroy file data. It works by performing multiple cryptographic overwrite passes, randomizing file metadata (name and timestamps), and finally unlinking the file from the filesystem to prevent forensic recovery.

Fields

path: PathBuf

The absolute or relative path to the target file or directory.

passes: u32

Number of overwrite passes to perform.

recursive: bool

Recursively shred directories and their contents.

method: ShredMethod

Algorithm to use for data destruction.

dry_run: bool

Perform a trial run without modifying the filesystem.

verify: bool

Verify overwrites by reading back data after writing.

exclude: Vec<String>

Exclude files matching specific glob patterns.

trim: bool

informs the SSD to discard the blocks used by the file (TRIM).

force: bool

Force destruction without interactive confirmation.

audit_log: Option<PathBuf>

Path to save the forensic audit log.

audit_format: AuditFormat

Format of the forensic audit log.

verbose: bool

Enable verbose logging for granular visibility into the shredding process.

keep: bool

Obfuscate and truncate the file but skip the final unlinking (deletion).

Trait Implementations

impl Args for Args

fn group_id() -> Option<Id>

Report the ArgGroup::id for this set of arguments

fn augment_args<'b>(__clap_app: Command) -> Command

Append to Command so it can instantiate Self via FromArgMatches::from_arg_matches_mut

fn augment_args_for_update<'b>(__clap_app: Command) -> Command

Append to Command so it can instantiate self via FromArgMatches::update_from_arg_matches_mut

impl CommandFactory for Args

fn command<'b>() -> Command

Build a Command that can instantiate Self.

fn command_for_update<'b>() -> Command

impl Debug for Args

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl FromArgMatches for Args

fn from_arg_matches(__clap_arg_matches: &ArgMatches) -> Result<Self, Error>
