SECURE
This is a primitive security program, designed to assist in hiding
sensitive files from casual browsers. It will NOT protect against the
determined hacker.
The parameter is a directory or path. The program performs a search through
all subdirectories under the specified directory, changing the
name of each file and directory found. Run it again, and it restores the
original names.
Only alphabetic characters in the names will be changed, numbers and
special characters are not affected. Therefore filenames such as 123.001
will not be changed.
Actually, there IS a second parameter, the filespec, but I would advise
leaving it at *.*. Otherwise, you will have to work out what it has become
before you can restore names.
Obviously, this can be VERY dangerous, and NO liability can be accepted for
loss of files.
It is suggested that you set up a Batch file to run the program against all
sensitive directories before powering off. The same file can be used when
powering on, to restore the names. It should be held in a directory which
is not processed by SECURE.
In order to enable you to boot, files named COMMAND.COM, AUTOEXEC.BAT and
*.SYS are NOT renamed. Other files and device drivers used in CONFIG.SYS
should be placed in a directory which is NOT processed, otherwise they will
not be found when you boot.
Also, the program does NOT rename itself, otherwise you would not be able
to run it to recover!
As an added safety feature, the program knows its own name, and even if you
copy it to a new name, it will not rename the file from which it is run.
This program is copyright, and you are granted a limited licence to copy
the complete package for distribution for no more than a reasonable fee for
such copying.
