I think you’re on an Ubuntu/Debian based distro, so it should be in the standard package repositories.
sudo apt-get install -y bleachbit
If you want to search the package repos for things use aptitude.
sudo apt-get install -y aptitude
aptitude search bleackbit
aptitude show bleachbit

apt-get is deprecated, should be using apt instead. Also, you can search using apt search. Add a -n to the command to search names only.

apt-get is not deprecated. It’s even used by some other tools in the background. Either one is fine.

Well there you go. I thought I read that it was deprecated, but the manpage says nothing about it. I've come to appreciate apt though, as it unifies all the binaries into one command (dpkg-deb, apt-get, apt-cache).

Interrupt it after a few days when you've had enough.
Edit: Look at dmesg to get size of your target Device in blocks and add count=<howmany> to the dd incantation

While you can use this, be careful of your out file otherwise you'll quickly end up with a blank hard drive and find out why that tool's nickname is "disk destroyer". :)

So true 🙂
Linux comes from a long line of operating systems that put the admin in complete control.
"Ok boss, if that's what you really want to do..."
But that's how it should be. Coddle the incompetent and you lose all the cool stuff on the playground.

Yup, which leads to an iPad generation who don't know how computers work, nor care. #root all the way for me.

It's just /dev/random
e.g. (where sdx is the disk you want to destroy)
for i in $(seq 1 10); do cat /dev/random > /dev/sdx; done
You then take it out back and shoot it twice in the back of the head before placing the suicide note. This is called the full Hillary disk wipe.
