For Linux Users

Option 1 — Using the ISO File

1. Download the Void.iso file.

2. Identify your USB drive (e.g., /dev/sdb).

3. Use the dd command to make a bootable USB:

sudo dd if=Void.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync

 Replace /dev/sdX with your actual USB device path (not a partition like /dev/sdb1).



Reboot your system and select the USB device from the boot menu.



Option 2 — Using the .deb Package



Download the void.deb package from the official website.



Install it using:



sudo dpkg -i void.deb

sudo apt-get install -f





Launch Void with:



void





Follow the interface to securely wipe supported devices.

 Wipe Certificates



After each successful operation, Void creates a digital wipe certificate that includes:



Device name and serial number



Wipe timestamp



Wipe method (ATA, NVMe, ADB, or dd)



Verification checksum



Operator ID (if configured)



These certificates act as tamper-proof audit records, providing verifiable proof of data erasure for organizations and compliance audits.



 Important Notes



 All data will be permanently erased. Back up any critical data before proceeding.



Use Void only on devices you own or are authorized to wipe.



For Android devices:



Enable USB Debugging in Developer Options before connecting.



Ensure the phone is properly recognized by ADB.



Some older HDDs may not support ATA Secure Erase commands.
