Key changes: List Drives: Instead of expecting the device as an argument, the script uses the select command to show available drives (/dev/sd*), which should match typical drive names on Linux. This allows the user to select the device by number. User Selection: The select loop waits for the user to pick a valid option (matching a drive) before continuing. If an invalid selection is made, it prompts again. Usage: Run the script. A list of available drives (like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.) will appear with numbered options. The user can type the number corresponding to the drive they wish to wipe. The script then asks for confirmation before proceeding with the secure wipe. This provides a much safer and more user-friendly method to select and wipe drives.
