☢️ SATAN2_Cleaner
Secure Anti-Forensics and Total Annihilation of iNformation.
Because true privacy means erasing beyond recovery — not just pressing delete.

## 📖 About
`SATAN2_Cleaner` is a personal project born from my interest in counter-forensics, privacy, and advanced data destruction.
Originally conceived as a personal tool to securely wipe disks and make recovery impossible in the event of forensic analysis or physical seizure, SATAN2_Cleaner is now evolving towards a public, advanced, and modular solution for cybersecurity professionals, privacy advocates, and anyone seeking reliable and modern data destruction capabilities.
> ⚙️ The core philosophy behind SATAN2_Cleaner is to go far beyond basic wiping or classical shredding techniques. The aim is to integrate a wide range of counter-forensics methods, designed to confuse, slow down, or even block forensic analysis attempts, making data recovery either impossible or excessively time-consuming and costly.
### Key Features & Planned Counter-Forensics Techniques
- Multi-pass shredding (DoD 5220.22-M, Gutmann, Schneier patterns, configurable random passes).
- ATA Secure Erase & Enhanced Secure Erase commands for firmware-level erasure when supported.
- Embedded (nested) encryption: encrypt → overwrite → re-encrypt (configurable multi-layer encryption).
- Triple-layer encryption with dynamic and embedded keys.
- Partition scheme obfuscation (corrupting GPT/MBR, hidden/ghost partitions, invalid partition tables).
- Chained overwrites & misaligned sector wiping (to evade hardware-level recovery and forensic imaging).
- Volume Shadow Copy poisoning (creating corrupted but "valid" snapshots to mislead analysts).
- Filesystem implosion (systematic corruption of superblocks, inodes, and metadata structures).
- Compression/Decompression traps (intentionally corrupted archives as decoys or traps).
- Steganography-based fake data injection (hidden irrelevant data to divert attention).
- File Signature Masking (breaking file headers, magic numbers to prevent carving).
- MACE timestamps scrambling (Modified, Accessed, Created, Entry) — randomization & corruption.
- Restricted/illegal filenames & non-standard Unicode injection (to destabilize forensic tools and parsers).
- Broken and misleading log files, fake system traces (to create false trails and waste analyst's time).
- Cross-linked file fragments & intentional partial overlaps (to prevent file reassembly and integrity analysis).
- Bad sector simulation & allocation (marking areas as defective to avoid overwriting suspicion or carving attempts).
- Decoy file injection ("honey files" and misleading artifacts to misdirect analysis efforts).
- Partial block overwriting (leaving only false fragments to confuse recovery tools).
- Cluster tip wiping & slack space erasure (ensuring no residual data in partially used blocks).
- Disk surface "noise" generation (injection of meaningless data to disrupt entropy analysis and carving).
> ⚙️ Note: SATAN2_Cleaner is currently under private development. The goal is to release a stable, modular, and community-driven version, with pluggable modules for different destruction and anti-forensics strategies — so users can customize and combine techniques based on their specific threat model and operational needs.
