As far as I am aware there is no secure delete facility on the F5's... WHich means even if you do rm the files, they're still there...

 

 

Just as a further note, you CAN purchase the drive (And then remove it before you send it back. It's an option in your support IIRC)... But it's expensive...

 

 

For horror stories, just google it... A while back there were several articles where people (researchers) had purchased devices (Not just F5's) and discovered certs on them (And other data). Best to be paranoid around keys.
