#File-Shredder
An application to shred files and folders securely.
**Requirements -:**
- A compiler supporting C++11
- The [Boost.Filesystem][1] library.
**Features -:**
- Renames files to random strings before shredding them.
- Asks for confirmation before shredding a file.
- Creates a log entry for every file being shredded.
**Files once shred cannot be recovered !! Use with extreme caution !!**
**Warning** : It will not work for drives/file-systems which perform [wear leveling][2] or other similar techniques.
**TODO -:**
- Ask for the number of iteration to be performed while shredding.
- Provide an option of *silent execution*, in which the program does not ask for user confirmation before shredding a file.
