pimmpinit Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 ok a while back i remember watching a video of some online tech show just like hak.5. i watched an episode where someone wrote up a cmd script that automaticaly deleted your mp3's off the computer. it was around the time the riaa was busting down people, so i guess they thought it was funny to write this scipt and put it on its site in the show notes. i just really need the name of the show or the site or even a script.

Sparda Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 You know how easy it is to get files back when you just use the del (or delete) command right? Spybot S&D as a feature called "Secure Shredder", which basicly compleatly randomises the data of a file before deleting it. That does (in theory) make it unrecoverable.

pimmpinit Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 thanks! you saved me! well i should have said what i'm using this for. i live at a bording school and they do computer check while i'm not in the room so i wanted to make a quick cmd script for my roomate to click to delete certain files i dont want to school getting. do you remember the show i'm talking about? its really killing me. i think it might be hak.5 but i cant find the segment in the show notes, and i know it wasn't the broken or system or diggnation.

remkow Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just truecrypt everything you don't want them to see, and make sure the password you choose is something completely random which they'll never guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 This is actually how easy it is: Insert Ubutnu live CD, boot it. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs and then sudo ntfsundelete /dev/hda will list all files that are 'undeleteable', then do sudo ntfsundelete -u <insert file name here> to 'undelete' a given file. It is literally that easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ABC Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 open notepad type in "@CD C: @DEL *.mp3 @echo the mp3's are now deletd" (witout quotes) hit ctrl+S then type in "delmp3.bat" (including quotes) as the fliename Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burn Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Truecrypt is probably the best way to do it. You can do it without even installing Truecrypt if you run it from a USB key or something. Just download the Truecrypt zip file and extract the files you need. I think it tells you how to do it in the documentation. Then create a encrypted volume, hide the volume (using Window's hidden attribute) and you're done. You can even trick them with a truecrypt hidden volume inside a non-hidden volume. That way if they find it, you can show them your encrypted class notes or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is literally that easy. imagine doing that on 50 computers. fair enough they can write a script, but booting ubuntu is hardly quick. and yes they could do it on dsl or whatever but i doubt a search is any more thorough than a search for "*.wav *.mp3 *.avi *.wmv *.wma *.mpg". due to the amount of computers they need to check and the average computer literacy of highschool students, anything more is not worth it. not many would even know it's possible to undelete. geeks aren't in high numbers at high school. btw, you also forgot that there are hundreds of tools capable of scanning drives and undeleting files from within windows itself. i just don't think it's gonna be that thorough. i'd have to say truecrypt would be the best solution (as it also stops you from loosing your data incase it gets overridden by something when it's deleted), even just make it a virtual drive, don't worry about hiding the partition just call it data.pak and chuck it in a game directory.

unasoto Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Long ago and far away I once went to bording school. :( Sparda way kewl on the undelete with Ubutnu. I think he wants to beable to recover them after they (Teacher) check his machine. my sugestion is get a nice size usb drive and keep everything on it that way when they check your machine is good to go. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
