🚨 Secure File Deletion (Fiendel) 🚀

🔥 Overview

⚠️ Fiendel is a fast and reliable tool for permanently deleting files! It ensures data is irrecoverable by using multiple overwrite passes, extension randomization, and final secure deletion. Once a file is deleted, it's gone FOREVER! ❌💀

✅ Features

• 🔹 Multi-Pass Overwriting: Random data and specific byte patterns overwrite file contents.
• 🔹 Extension Randomization: The file extension changes multiple times before deletion.
• 🔹 Asynchronous Processing: The GUI runs smoothly without freezing.
• 🔹 Warning & Confirmation: Users must confirm before deletion begins.
• 🔹 Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works on 🖥️ Windows & 🐧 Linux.

🛠 Components

🔹 fiendel.cpp

💻 The core C++ program that securely deletes files using multiple overwrite passes and extension changes before permanent removal.

🔹 gui.py

🎨 A PyQt5 graphical interface that allows users to select files for secure deletion with real-time status updates.

🔹 requirements.txt

📦 Contains necessary dependencies for running the GUI.

🚀 Installation

For Windows & Linux

1️⃣ Compile the C++ source code:

g++ -o fiendel fiendel.cpp

2️⃣ Install Python dependencies:
