(IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol. 10, No. 11, 2019 Data Sanitization Framework for Computer Hard Disk Drive: A Case Study in Malaysia 1 Nooreen Ashilla Binti Yusof , Siti Norul Huda Binti Mohamad Firham Efendy bin Md Senan3 2 5 Sheikh Abdullah , Monaliza Binti Sahri Nor Zarina binti Zainal Abidin4 Center for Cyber Security, Faculty of Information Science and Digital Forensic Department, CyberSecurity Malaysia Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Level 5, Tower 1, Menara Cyber Axis, Jalan Impact 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia 63000 Cyberjaya, Selangor, Malaysia Abstract—In digital forensics field, data wiping is considered from hard disk drive that can be referred online. Hence, this one of the anti-forensics’ technique. On the other perspective, paper introduces the data sanitization process including data wiping or data sanitization is the technique used to ensure verification process to dispose the data from the hard disk that the deleted data are unable to be accessed by any drive. unauthorized person. This paper introduces a process for data sanitization from computer hard disk drive. The process was The number of overwrite pass becomes an issue to proposed and tested using commercial data sanitization tools. researchers as some of them said single pass overwrite is Multiple testing has been conducted at accredited digital forensic sufficient [6] to delete the data in the hard disk drive. In fact, laboratory of CyberSecurity Malaysia. The data sanitization the overwriting method proposed by NIST 800-88 to dispose process was performed using overwritten method provided by of the data from the hard disk drive is simply to perform at state-of-the-art data sanitization tools.
