Is there a utility that corrupts media files (pictures+videos) until they're unusable? (zerobytes.monster)

I usually delete my files from USB flash drives, SD cards and hard disks with shred -n 1 -u * if they can't be encrypted but this adds too much wear to flimsy media like SD cards. I would like to be able to just corrupt important headers and insert random data at reasonable intervals to simply make the files unusable before they get unlink-ed. Is there such a thing?
