⚡ Installation

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/lakshya-004/RustyDusty.git
cd RustyDusty

2. Install dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev hdparm nvme-cli fonts-liberation

3. Generate RSA keypair for signing:

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048
openssl rsa -in private.pem -pubout -out public.pem

4. Build the project:

cargo build --release

🎯 Usage

5. Run as root (⚠️ destructive!):

sudo ./target/release/RustyDusty

You will be prompted to:

📂 Select device to wipe

💿 Select drive type (HDD/SSD or NVMe)

🔍 Optionally restore HPA/DCO on SATA drives

📊 Set buffer size in MB (recommended: 64)

🔄 Choose number of overwrite passes (1–7)

✔️ Confirm before wiping

📁 Output

After wiping completes, you’ll get:

wipe_certificate.json — detailed report & logs

wipe_certificate.sig — digital signature of the JSON report

wipe_certificate.pdf — professional PDF certificate with signature

Verify signature with your public.pem key!

⚠️ Security & Safety

❗ Irreversible Data Loss: This will permanently destroy data on the device!

👑 Run as Root: Requires elevated privileges for raw disk access

🔑 Protect your Keys: Never share or commit your private.pem key publicly!

🧪 Test First: Always try on test devices before production use
