I made an archiving program today. Basically, it just writes directories and text files inside them. I managed to use an assertion as a password, now I just have to figure out how to make a hidden directory and I'll be able to archive my passwords safely. I've wanted to do this since I've started internetting, but now I actually have a secure system.

Nice

I cant program worth a shit

I can do this easily using a notepad and an empty drawer in my room..

I have a sister who goes through my shit. She's computer illiterate though. Plus, paranoid security has always been an interest of mine, so I want to start learning in that direction.

I'm confused, it just writes text files? Why is this different than just normally writing text files?

It's not really. The only difference is that the program can reference and remember all of the text files stored in it, while at the same time writing them to a hidden folder.

I think I could do something like this if I tried. I'm not really sure what you mean by it and how secure your standards are. I would just fprint/scan some passwords to a random file but I'm not sure how to create directories.

Im kind of burned out on programming because of last semester but if I was going to write a recreational program I would do something to find definite integrals using riemann sums. I just don't know how I would have the user enter in the formula of the function to take the integral of.

I'm not sure how truly secure my system is, I just want it to be functionally invisible from anyone manually looking for it and finding it through the search functions (and I mean hiding it better than just a Hidden File). Basically, I tested it by putting a folder named TopSecret on my desktop, then applied the method. I literally watched it wink out of existence Razz

My work so far isn't really involving any heavy mathematics, it's just logical shit that's giving me a grievance.

Mind sharing the source?

command prompt that bitch. I have no clue what it's actually doing, all I know is that it's hiding it.

attrib +s +h "<fileName>"

edit, got the sources. Also, anything in < > seems not to appear. Am I hitting onto some BBCode?

Maybe, there's a code tag to make it visible though. But yeah that just makes the file a hidden and system file.

I'm alright with that. The next few days, my task is to cover some base-level encryption and implement that into the program so that it stores the file as gobbledygook. I figure combining that and making it a hidden system file, that'll help keep it away from the casual people (IE my family). I doubt it'd manage to keep away someone who understood the program and wanted to find the files, but it's a start.
