myspacee Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Hello, Have a request. I'm interested to obtain 'detailed info' from a file on my hard disk This strange request, because i found a software protection that use this method to prevent program activation. Find idea very tricky so, i want to implement in my software, a protection like this. Want to give a file as key activation (file A), then run script that generate an encrypted validation file (file B ), based on file A hardisk 'position' My script check every time (file A) position on harddisk, if doesn't match with encrypted info on file B, quit. (in this way file A can't be moved, copied, delete, etc) Any idea how obtain info about file position on partition ? Thank you for any info, m.

JohnOne Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I could be wrong here, but I think I read that data is not in one static place on a hdd for example your OS might move it during a defrag or other maintenance operation. Your approach may be futile. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

myspacee Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) not so futile if a key information is on cd, So improve request, anyone know : - how to obtain info about retail cd TOC ? think about: - Insert phisical key CD (that must keep secret) - obtain info about TOC (and all other possibile info) - obtain MAC address + IP address, and use to encrypt these info on key file. so if you copy key file on other machine - script try to obtain valid values from key file - if fails you are on other machine and asking you to verify activation with secret phisical CD. (only first time) - AI script writes a new key file to your hardisk based on new matching info I know that replicate MAC adress is an easy task, but on same LAN you can't have same IP address. If you keep secret on CD key (can be a custom cd or last lady Gaga one) can automate activation procedure and create robust validation procedure. what you think ? m.
