Hi,

installing the package:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nwipe

https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/nwipe

"/usr/sbin/nwipe"
- https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/nwipe/filelist

The manual page:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/nwipe.1.html

It's just one program named nwipe.

A hint:

"To summarize, securely overwriting hard disk drives involves:

    One overwriting pass for most HDD erasure. Remember to weigh data
    sensitivity against the costs of higher level of security and the
    time you want to spend on each processed asset. More passes take
    longer and are usually unnecessary." -
