There are utilities out there that allow you to write a zeros to a disk to ensure that the data on that system is unrecoverable. Does anyone know if there is something similar that you can do on a Cisco device to prevent data from being recovered?

write erase reload

Don't forget to check flash too - I tend to make backup copies of the config on a device to flash cards on a regular basis to aid recovery should it ever be required. (Just copy the config from the flash to startup-config and reload - that gets you basic connectivity and most stuff working and you can then update the rest from your latest RANCID backup.)
