# r3cder
This is a Bash script designed to recursively overwrite all contents within a specified directory.
Once the overwriting process begins, recovering the files will be extremely challenging. The script utilizes
the `shred` command to ensure irreversible overwriting of the files.
## How to use it
1. Clone the repository
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/arg0n3x/r3cder.git
```
2. Grant execution permissions to the script
```bash
$ chmod 700 r3cder
```
3. A basic usage of the script
```bash
$ ./r3cder -d -o
```
4. Use the `-h` parameter for additional help
```bash
$ ./r3cder -h
```
**NOTE**
This script recursively overwrites the directory and its subdirectories, making file recovery extremely challenging.
