Obliterator\n\n**A secure, cross-platform data wiping solution for safe e-waste management.**  \nObliterator addresses the critical challenge of **data security in electronic waste recycling**.\n\n---\n\n## Background\n\nIndia generates over **1.75 million tonnes of e-waste annually**, yet millions of laptops and smartphones remain hoarded in homes and offices.  \nThe biggest reason: **fear of data breaches**.  \n\nMost users hesitate to recycle or resell their devices because:\n- Sensitive data might be recovered,\n- Existing wiping tools are too **complex, expensive, or unverifiable**.  \n\nAs a result, more than **₹50,000 crore worth of IT assets** lie unused, harming the circular economy and contributing to environmental risks.\n\n---\n\n## Problem Statement\n\nDesign and prototype a **secure, cross-platform data wiping application** that:\n\n- Securely erases all user data, including hidden storage (HPA/DCO, SSD sectors).  \n- Generates a **digitally signed, tamper-proof wipe certificate** (PDF + JSON).  \n- Offers an **intuitive one-click GUI**, accessible to everyday users.  \n- Works offline (via **bootable ISO/USB**) for devices without OS access.  \n- Enables **third-party verification** of wipe status.  \n- Aligns with **NIST SP 800-88** standards for data sanitization.  \n\n---\n\n## Impact\n\n- Builds **user confidence** in recycling \u0026 resale of devices.  \n- Reduces hoarding of IT assets by making disposal safe.  \n- Promotes **trust, transparency, and accountability** in IT asset disposal.  \n- Supports **India’s circular economy** and sustainable e-waste management.  \n\n---\n\n## Technical Overview\n\nObliterator consists of:\n- **GUI Entry Point** → `obliterator_gui.py`  \n- **Authentication Layer** → `login_system.py` (Supabase-based)  \n- **Data Wiping Engine** → secure erasure methods across drives/sectors  \n- **Certificate Generator** → creates tamper-proof wipe reports in **PDF/JSON**\n- **To test run obliterator_gui.py directly  \n\nThe prototype was integrated into **Puppy Linux (Bookwormpup)** ISO for:\n- **Bootable USB deployment**  \n- **Virtual Machine demo environment (Vbox)**  \n\n---\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Installation\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Anaemos/Obliterator.git\ncd
