I've encountered a prog that erases your hard drives a little bit better than the other hard drive erase progs on the UBCD and I wouldn't complain about seing this prog on the next version of UBCD.
It's called Secure Harddisk Eraser and can be found here.
It comes in two versions. A 3 stage version and a 35 stage version. For more info, visit the website.

It's pretty trivial to add this tool yourself if you want to use it, read the customization docs for the ubcd for more details.
IMHO, I doubt that it would be added to the "official" release as it doesn't really bring anything new and compelling as far as I can see. It just is a different way to do the same thing that Darik's Boot N Nuke or the other three disk wiping utilities already on there do.

I may add it to the next release, lemme check it out first. It is sometimes good to have different apps for doing the same thing (eg. disk wiping). Due to the different hardware out there, something that works on one machine may not work on another. But I have had good experience with DBAN (Darik's Boot And Nuke) so far.
