Nuke the Metadata

I have the same type of script, but very specific to file types and not just a general "remove all metadata from the input file". I assume yours works the same way? How many file types can you use this on and how?

No, mine's quite brain-dead. I'm sure yours does a better job on specific file types, and I'm sure there's stuff I'm not getting, now that I think about it. But I've downloaded the images (for example) that I uploaded post-nuke and didn't see any obvious references to me or my organization. A more robust nuker might make for a nice project in my coming off-time (post layoff).
