32 bit version of file shredder

[Magnum]

I know this is almost as old as the dinosaurs, but I would like to write a 32 bit version.

Probably not as many steps ?

Anyone interested ?

Thanks.

I would like to fix the file renaming function if it's possible.

Thanks.

Why wouldn't you just do a 32 bit version of this?  That way it'll
also run on 64 bit versions of Windows.

Andy, how much x86 asm have you written?

Using a loop like this to initialize memory seems like a rather glaring
omission of the instructions Intel designed for such tasks;

;; Assuming ES == DS, and CLD has been done

   mov di,offset [random]
   mov cx,64000 / 2
   mov ax,0
   rep stosw

When you overwrite a file, you should probably round up the length to
the next full allocation cluster size (often 4KB, but check!), so that
you get rid of any data remaining in that tail.

Otherwise I agree with Robert, such a program should probably be written
in C or (my personal favourite for snippets like this: Perl!)

Hi Dave,

MoveFile or SHFileOperation - or, if you're masochistic, IFileOperation

why masochistic? Is it so hard?

Gunther

[dedndave]

not really - it is a COM interface
but, msdn indicates that SHFileOperation is to be depricated
I'm sure it will work, though

[Magnum]

Thanks DednDave.

I still would need to overwrite the file data.

White scorpion had some shredder code and attachments in the old forum,
but all the attachments were deleted.

[dedndave]

you may be able to find the attachments in the archive (see links near top of masm32 main page)

but, NTFS is very different from FAT
no guarantee you are writing to the same disk sector as the file
