The eXtensible Host Controller Interface ( xHCI) is a technical specification that provides a detailed framework for the functioning of a computer's host controller for Universal Serial Bus (USB). Known alternately as the USB 3.0 host controller specification, xHCI is designed to be backward compatible, supporting a wide range of USB devices ...
Darik's Boot and Nuke, also known as DBAN / ˈdiːbæn /, is a free and open-source project hosted on SourceForge. [2] The program is designed to securely erase a hard disk until its data is permanently removed and no longer recoverable, which is achieved by overwriting the data with pseudorandom numbers generated by Mersenne Twister or ISAAC.
