HOWTO wipe space on Hetzner Root Server

If your worry about data left on dedicated/hosted root server and want to remove secure all files and bits,
you can clean complete disk slice or even better to overwrite with random bytes.

DATA CAN'T BE RECOVERED ANY MORE! YOU WILL PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

1. Start Rescue system from Robot.

The Rescue System can be activated from Robot. After choosing the desired server from the server overview (Menu "Server" -> click on the desired server) go to the tab "Rescue". Here you can activate the Rescue System. After activating the Rescue System an automatically generated password is displayed. Please make a careful note of it as this is the root password of the Rescue System.

2. Login into Rescue System using ssh
3a. If you use default server with RAID 1 (example for an EX server) execute

# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/md2 bs=1M

3b. Or if you use a hardware RAID controller has been installed or the server only has one drive (VQ servers) execute

#  dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda3 bs=1M

Care of your personal data!
