Question is there any software that you know of to get information off of a hard drive that has been cleaned with the DoD 7 pass wipe?
Answer Hi Andrew,
If the drive was truly wiped with a program that does it correctly and it was done to DOD 7 pass standards, then no there is no possible way of retrieving the information that was on the drive, with software. Or with any known hardware to date for that matter. A drive wiped that way is about as clean as it gets, and can not be recovered even with special hardware.
Hope that answers your question.
Be Safe.
