- Okay. Fuck the lame utils going round these days.

-
-
- Everybody is shocked about the busts. But is there a 100% protection?
- You need protection. Here it is:
-
-
- What`s it:
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- This tool works very simple: it codes the rdb (Rigid-Disk-Block) of your
- harddisk(s) in a few milli-seconds. This means: You cannot boot from your
- harddisk anylonger or read any data from it. Rigid-Disk-Block is needed
- for the computer to know the size of your partitions and so on. Without
- this block you have NO access to your HD! (NDOS-disk)
-
- If you once have booted your computer you don`t need these informations.
- You only need these informations when you startup your computer. This
- is what it`s all about:
-
- If you started your computer with a correct RDB you can work with your
- computer. If you then code the RDB you still can work with your computer.
- If your computer crashes or if you make a reset you have to restore the
- RDB to boot again from your HD(s). You can either restore the RDB BEFORE
- you make a reset, or what is also possible: AFTER you made a reset, but due
- to the fact that you can`t reach your HD`s any more you have to restore
- them from floppy drive.
-
- This is how it looks in schematic-system:
-
- No Protection:
- 1. RDB okay.
- You can work with your computer, startup your HD`s etc.
- Do several resets.
-
-
- Protection:
- 2. RDB coded:
- / \
- / \
- / \
- before after
- bootin`: bootin`:
-
- Nobody has You can work with your Computer+HD(s) as normal!
- access to There is no patch, no loss of time or any other
- your data`s strange thing with your computer.
- Not even me! BUT: if you make a reset your HD wont boot (NDOS-Disk)
-
- The principle is easy: We think that those people who are really interested
- in your datas, don`t take the time to look on your HD immediately. They
- will take the computer with them and figure it out later. So, if they
- disconnect it from the power-supply and the RDB is coded, they won`t be
- able to boot again from the HD and they can`t have access to the media
- by another way, either.
-
- Now this is the easy principle.
-
-
-
- History & advantages compared to other tools:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- There are other tools (or at least ONE), which works the same way like
- my tool. I don`t wanna tell you that I was the first one, who made it this
- way. Nobody would believe me anyway. I coded the first version of this
- tool in 1992.
- There`s another tool from a group called remedy, which made a total
- hardcore-coding routine. You need a patch and quite a lot of time for
- reading and writing. And though remedy might not believe it: their
- protection is not 100% sure. And what is even worse: It takes a lot of
- time. But what`s worst about the tool is: if you enter a wrong PW your
- HD fucks up and will never return to you. Why in heavens sake haven`t you
- created a little checksum for the pw and compare this one with the
- pw? You think you are smart?! Jesus, eat my shorts. If you enter ONE
- wrong key your harddisk is GONE! Very nice.
-
- This tool also works on an Amiga 1000 (do you remember?)!!
-
- Hardware-protections: Is the best solve, though not every controller
- has one. I don`t have such protection. This tool is a nice
- software variant. Are you real sure that the controller-pw is 100% sure?!
- I can`t tell...
-
- There`s also another util which delete`s the RDB after copying it on
- a disk. This is ofcoz a very safe method. I`ll try to implement such
- option in the next version. But I think it`s a disadvantage to have
- the rdb`s on a disk. Well, let`s wait and see.. I`ll give you the
- option to kill and restore the rdb in the next version and then you
- can decide. You need at least two utils then: one for restoring and one
- for cleaning the RDB.
-
- My tool simply codes your RDB with a PW. It works as a principle known
- as the "alberti"-concept, which means: fast and uncrackable.
- You can try your luck, but you`ll fail.
-
- You only need ONE tool to code and decode your HD`s. If your HD is coded
- then it get`s decoded and vice versa.
-
-
- How to install:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- copy "coder" to "dh0:c/coder" or
- "hd0:c/coder" (on your boot-HD)
-
- copy "libs/trashcan.library" to "dh0:libs/trashcan.library" or
- "hd0:libs/trashcan.library" (on your boot-HD)
-
- That`s it. You don`t need no patch or other crap.
-
- Take a look at the trashcan.library. It`s NOT a library, but it`s a simple
- text-file in ascii-format. It might look like this:
-
- scsi.device
- myfuckingpwtralala
- 0
-
-
- scsi.device = your device from your controller... if you have OS 2.04 you
- can start the "dirinfo"-command in this archiv, which is gonna
- tell you the name of your Controller-device.
- typical are:
- gvpscsi.device
- scsi.device
- alfscsi.device etc..
-
- if you are running under 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 then you
- have to figure it out on your own what`s the name of your
- controller-device.
-
- myfuckingpwtralala = is the pw, which is need to code the rdb of this HD
-
- 0 = device unit. If you are using more than one hd on one controller then
- you can decide what HD you wanna protect.
-
-
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- ATTENTION: THE RDB CODES A WHOLE HARD-DISK! NOT A PARTITION!!
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
-
- If you want more than one HD to be coded then simply add the lines below
- each other, so that trashcan.library looks like this:
-
- scsi.device
- myfuckingpwtralala
- 0
- scsi.device
- anotherpwforhd2
- 1
- scsi.device
- youknowthepw!
- 2
-
- With these lines there are THREE Harddisks running on one controller.
- They get coded/decoded in less than a second.
- If you have multi-controllers in your system then do the following:
-
- alfscsi.device
- myfuckingpwtralala
- 0
- gvpscsi.device
- anotherpwforhd2
- 0
- gvpscsi.device
- anotherpwforhd2
- 1
- maxxon.device
- youknowthepw!
- 0
-
- this assumes that you have Three controllers and Four HD`s!
-
- I think you got it... It`s easy..
-
-
- Effectivity:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- IF you want 100% security read these advices:
-
- 1. Divide your HD up in multiple partitions (they will ALL become coded).
- Not in fifty-fifty-partitions, but in 40% 60% partitions, coz if
- the size of the partitions is unknown there is no chance to get your
- data. So you better don`t format a GB-HD with one partition, coz this
- would be too easy to find out.
- Professional Tools like quarterback tools can not restore any datas
- from your hd if it doesn`t know the exact size of your partitions!!
-
- 2. Bind in the "coder"-command in your startup-sequence as FIRST command.
- This makes sure: 1. if somebody breaks your startup-sequence your
- HD(s) are coded.
- 2. You can sleep tight.
-
- 3. Create such a nice Startup-sequence:
-
- c:makedir ram:T ram:Clipboards ram:env ram:env/sys
- c:assign ENV: ram:env
- c:run >nil: <nil: execute s:real-startup-sequence
- c:hdcrypt >nil:
- c:endcli
-
- If you protect your s:real-startup-sequence with a PW your system
- is invulnerable.
-
- 4. The RDB is 100% coded. You cant decode it.
-
-
- Normal use:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- Start up your computer, start "Coder" it will tell you whether your HD`s
- are coded or decoded. If they are coded then you can`t boot them again.
- If it says: decoded you can reset your computer and boot again (if you
- want to). You can also stay it "coded" and "decode" it later from floppy-
- disks.
- You have to create your own "libs:trashcan.library" with PW`s, device-names
- etc. and what is MOST important ofcoz a disk (installed please) with
- "coder" on it and a directory named "libs" and the "trashcan.library" in
- it ofcoz. You need this disk if your computer got switched off, while your
- HD`s are coded or you by mistake made a mistake before decoding your
- HD`s. You should keep this disk to a VERY safe place.
- ATTENTION AGAIN: you have to use the same pw`s ofcoz on your disk than
- you use on your HD! the best would be to copy the trashcan.library to
- the disk and make NO change to it.
-
- You can protect the "coder" on the disk with a Password if you want to.
- Simply use Powerpacker in encrypt mode! It`s absolutely safe! This makes
- sure, nobody starts the programm without knowing the password and by this:
- nobody can decode your HD except you or the person who knows the PW of
- the coder.
-
-
-
-
- ______________________ ATTENTION: ________________________
-
- some lame controllers don`t work without the RDB! This means if your HD is
- coded and you want to decode it with the "coder" on disk, then it might
- happen that it won`t recognize your controller-device. this depends on
- your controller!!! I tested it on many controllers. And it worked with
- MANY controllers. If it works with yours? I can`t tell. Find out.
- btw: it works 100% with gvp-controllers and all other GOOD ones...
