; SoftLock© Security System ;
; ;
; ;
; Program: SoftLock© ;
; Version: V1.0.1 ;
; Date: 03/24/92 ;
; ;
; Application: AmigaDOS & Workbench v1.3 or v2.04 ;
; Purpose: Prevent unauthorized access of your HardDrive. ;
; ;
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------;
This program is SHAREWARE, see the instructions below.
______________________________________________________
Tested:
-------
SoftLock© has been tested on a AMIGA 500 under 1.3 and on a AMIGA 2000 under
both 1.3 and 2.04.
Installation:
-------------
Copy SoftLock to the c: directory of your HD. From a CLI window execute
SoftLock. Since this is the first time you have executed the program, you
will need to enter the REAR_DOOR password SHAREWARE. You will be prompted
to enter a user password twice. The user password must be between 5 and 15
alphanumeric (a-z & 0-9) characters. When you finish creating the user
password the program will end. The password is encoded and is secure from
prying eyes. Re-run SoftLock now you will be prompted to change your password,
change it or quit. You now know that SoftLock© runs on you system and you
may be a little more comfortable with it. Now continue with the installation.
Startup-Sequence for AmigaDos Release 2 :
-----------------------------------------
In your "S" directory edit Startup-sequence, adding c:Softlock right after
"c:setpatch >NIL:" and "c:version >NIL:" which will make it the third item.
Startup-Sequence for AmigaDos Release 1.3 :
-------------------------------------------
In your "S" directory edit startup-sequence, adding c:Softlock right after
"c:SetPatch >NIL: r ;patch system functions" which should make it the
second item.
DIRECTIONS:
-----------
Once you have completed the installation of SoftLock© warm boot the system.
You will be prompted to enter a user password. When you finish, startup will
continue.
Running SoftLock© from a CLI allows you can change the user password anytime
if you know the old password or the REAR_DOOR password.
Every time the system is booted the user will be prompted for the user
password (although the REAR_DOOR password can be entered). The user will
only have three chances to enter the correct password. If the user makes 3
invalid attempts, the program goes into a loop and the only way out is to
reboot.
SoftLock© will needs to write on the HD and prompt the user if the sys: disk
is write protected. If the user doesn't correct the trouble, it's loop time.
Every access attempt that fails for any reason has the date and time recorded.
Once the user gives the correct password, the program checks if any previous
access's have been denied, if so the date and time will be displayed to the
user. So whenever an authorized user boots up, they will be notified of any
unauthorized access attempts.
SECURITY:
---------
Total security is not possible, but this program can keep most people out.
The computer illiterate and the computer novice will be able to break into
your system. Only the advance HACKER might sooner or later break in.
The key to the SoftLock© Security System is that it is executed from your
startup-sequence as instructed above.
SHAREWARE:
----------
Feel free to distribute this entire package intact. If you find this program
useful and continues to use it, please mail $25 to me as payment for SoftLock©.
As a registered user, you will receive a custom copy of SoftLock© with a unique
REAR_DOOR password of your choosing. Registered versions of SoftLock© do not
display the annoying SHAREWARE messages.
