    Hi all,
    
    Reading the excellent paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and
    Solid-State Memory" by Peter Gutmann
    (http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html) I started
    to wonder if anyone here has put these methods to the test (recover
    data), and furthermore if anyone attempted (or succeeded, for that
    matter) to build a scanning-tunneling microscope from scratch
    (following this method, perhaps: http://sxm4.uni-muenster.de/stm-en/)
    and recover data with it.
    
    IMHO, a properly understood and handled tool such as this would be
    an invaluable addition to any forensic analyst's toolkit.
