# Destroying Hardware
|
|
|
|
Destroying hardware should be done by using a combination of:
|
|
|
|
* Degaussing
|
|
|
|
* Burning
|
|
|
|
* Shredding
|
|
|
|
* Pulverizing
|
|
|
|
All three methods should be used because of the efficacy of using electron
|
|
microscopy to read data from storage drives which have not been completely
|
|
destroyed.
|
|
|
|
Drilling through the storage drive, a common hardware destruction method, is not
|
|
considered to be secure. In fact it's best to remove drive from the device and
|
|
only use in memory storage.
|
|
|
|
Ensuring that all chips are completely physically destroyed is essential.
|
|
|
|
In the best case scenario, the hardware should be melted in a foundry, as this
|
|
makes it impossible to retrieve any data by any means. |
