Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Find and remove duplicate files
« Last post by Crush on January 25, 2009, 06:18 AM »
Checking the size and last change date ist ok in most cases, but is any program out there that uses additional file-informations to check the versions?

It´s possible that s a newer version has a smaller size. On the other hand sometimes you´re forced not to delete all versions except the newest. Some special places like the winsxs or the dllcache need different versions to make all programs run the right way. It would be cool if some programs would handle these folders different from the others.

I have some new cool ideas when looking at this article (I´m not quite sure how to get it in effective, fast working code)... One of the biggest problem is to gather relevant and important informations you´re not looking for directly what´s in fact in most cases the reason of searching... very interesting.

Living Room / Re: Secure deletion: a single overwrite will do it
« Last post by Crush on January 19, 2009, 07:26 PM »
Till now I only did one-time-scratches. It seems I´ve done it right.
But what happens with files that get somehow modified by a change-tracking filesystem like NTFS or they´ve been moved somewhere else and their original copy is still hidden in the background? Are these "rests" not more threateningly? I don´t think the cleaners are realtime-checking all possible cases and I don´t believe anybody makes a regularly free space wipe on all of his drives.

@nosh: There are things tracked in the HD that are for internally management. But who coded the bioses of harddiscs? Perhaps the illuminati have even there full control of everybody? Are you sure there´s no sender and sniffer built in? This would be better way than sending trojans to sniff around.

Congratulations to all other winners out there!   :greenclp:
Perry has indeed deserved the main price for his great work!

I´m really a lucky man now :eusa_dance:. I see a game where you can win a big BMW. I´ll try this today...
Do you have more detailed informations about my price? A typename perhaps? What kind are they? Are there 2 of Racks or a rack for 2 hdds?

Here is a version with a little optimized search-routine using the program path for all datas. It´s best to copy it to an own directory.
Please check the differences: The longer your search term is, the more speed you´ll get.

I remembered some repainted Garfield & Cosinus Comics I posted 18 years ago in a german Amiga disc-magazine and took a look again on them.
Have fun with some retro-comics. My english at this time was even more worse than nowadays. It doesn´t matter!

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: Nany 2009 Release: CrushPad
« Last post by Crush on January 11, 2009, 07:58 PM »
Thank you for using and testing CrushPAD!  :Thmbsup:

I must admit that all of my tools have a very simplistic Dialog structure till now but I want to change this in the future.

Show up active Working could be done. There are different things that are nearly the same like unsolved, work in progress and partially solved. Should I show up all of them or specialized? This was was the reason only to show what you´re searching for. A show all buttion is no problem to do.

With the export-button you can save plain text. I only haven´t done an import-function till now :-[. The problem is how to create compatible states, because internally the categories and subcategories have a singular number and new categories/subcategories must be inserted the right way that they´re not leading to collisions. I wanted to do this later. An index isn´t useful. All entries should be inserted by their creation date.

--- if I click on a record and then decide to insert a new record, it makes a copy of the one I'm on.  Is it supposed to do that?
-> Yes. I made this because often some special cases appear again and again and so I only have to click on an old case, can change it if I like and so simply can insert and create a new ticket. It could be interesting to analyze the repeats of similar tasks/tickets.

--- having your categories read from the file makes it hard to set up some existing projects and categories, especially without an option to do it directly.  You actually have to enter tasks to enter category information.
-> Really? Creating categories and subcategories should work without any tasks. Please describe a more detailed example how to get this problem.

I've been using Task Coach Portable lately and it also saves all the data, including categories, in the main data file but it has options to enter them separately.  I like Task Coach but don't actually need the overhead and all the features.  It's written in Python, so it takes up a lot of disk space.
-> I wanted a lightweighted solution that saves as small files as possible and has only the features I personally need. This is the reason why I save categories/subcategories only one time at the header and use their index along with the tasks. I also planed to insert zip or 7z support for the datas if it doesn´t slows down too much.
Please tell me what features you use most that are missing in CrushPad. Experiences with other ticket-management-progs are very interesting. Till now CrushPad does its job good enough for me.

I hope you continue to develop your CrushPad.  It's nice to have choices.
-> At the moment other projects have a higher priority but I never wanted to stop its development. All of my programs could get new functions in the future at the latest when I personally need them. (Besides, I use my own programs quite often  ;))

After collection some wishes I´ll insert these functions in a new release.
214
Only to show I´m still working sometimes on my Disc-Cataloger (it´s not dead!) I decided to prove its incredible speed (I used it as base calculation in former benchmarks at the beginning of this thread) with an old tester. This should be a little bit faster than the version I used for the posted benches, but my newest routine is even faster. ;)
There are some important things to do:

1.) Create c:\tmp
2.) Read some drives with "Read" - if the screen seems to freeze you only have to wait a while. This isn´t important for testing. Rereading of same drives is not possible after searches in this version.
3.) After reading some drives/volumes/CDs/DVDs/Networks you can search for a name. Included is only a case insensitive substring-search. Type in something in the File field for filenames and/or the directory field for directory filtering (you can also type several dirs like "\test\emulation" and click search.
4.) The first search reads all datas from the tmp-folder and in parallel caches the files to memory (you´ll be able to decide how to handle caching in the real release). Next searches will be done much faster.
5.) The strings per second says it all. Each string is a file-entry.
6.) "... seconds searchtime" is the time for the search itself - not taking care of file-activities. Only the first 10.000 lines are shown (release will shows all). This will be faster at the first release version and you´ll see the first results immediately on the screen. A live-search while typing is planed.
7.) Volumes and other infos are not shown in the results. The lines are counted as results - not the real amount of suiting entries! Hey, this is only a version I use for benchmarks and tests for several routines!
If you want to see how fast it would work a.e. with 1000 times your full HD-Drives, you can easily fake this with cloning the lines in the file Volume.vols as often as you like. The amount of searched entries (files, dirs and volumes) are shown at the top. Take care not to insert so many volumes that your memory starts swapping to harddisc!

My goal is something in the style of Lazycat, Locate32 or Everywhere but with different new features and an unbeatable search speed.

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Release: Crush Cryptonizer
« Last post by Crush on January 09, 2009, 06:13 PM »
I found a place where experts could take a closer look. The first thing they need is a detailed description. I´ll do that. Don´t forget that the most encryptions are told you by a group that work very intensive together with the NSA. Even Bruce Schneier (that I´ve also contacted for informations) doesn´t trust very much in AES-256. Why the heck do others then?
The most encryption rules that are used in well-known encryptions (especially AES-256) are also included in mine - perhaps a little bit simplier but at least same or more effective by breaking some of the NIST rules like size and rounds and some "forbidden" things like random salt and OTPs. I have test-programs that show me similar or better results in encryption compared to other programs. After describing the algorithm and releasing the sourcecode I hope to get constructive comments on whats wrong or ok with it. Payed Expertices by professionals costs too much money for a nearly free program (you can donate if you like). I can only assure you that I made a lot of efforts to get its actual state and I´ll continue doing all to get more people trusting in an in my opinion new powerful encryption.
I invested most of the time (98%) in developing and testing the algorithm (my first idea to it came 5-6 years ago I think) not the app (2%).
Coding was the main part of my live in the last 30 years. I´m not a high-schooler that creates only simple Dialogs. I´ll still continue with or without people that use it - because I´ll use it for my own products.

Thank you with the date-correction!
In several countries import or export of encryption is not allowed. I don´t want to possibly make problems to Donationcoders. So I decided to store it at a local hoster and who wants it can get it there. The file is quite short so the few seconds waiting for the download link should be ok. Open it in a tab and you can surf elsewhere meanwhile.

I took a look about fusker tools but I haven´t found stand alone tools that have similar features than mine. Perhaps I´m looking for the false names?
Do you remember some names/sites with downloadable (and free) applications? There´s still room for improvements.

At the moment I use it to get some music from modarchive.org. It saves a lot of time.

3 Short News:

Bruce Schneier:
I´ve contacted now Bruce Schneier personally and he told me some things about getting my algorithm tested somehow (this could cost a lot money). I think I have to go on with my search somewhere else to prove my algorithms are as good as I think.

BeRo / Demogroup Farbrausch:
I´ve got an extremely cool selfmade filewiper program from him for Cryptonizer and will include it in the next release that you can be sure not to have any decrypted original datas on your harddisk.

HotBits:
I think I´ll also include HotBits-Support as random-number generator for the salt. Its randomness is coming from radioactive decay.

I´ll start some contacts to cryptography experts. As I see my work seems to get more interesting after the newest events here.

:( Some very bad news for germans have come up today: :(

In germany the effords in new encryption method will highly rise after a new law for the police has been introduced after many years of discussion and political fights. From January 2009 the police can send trojans or visit you at home when you´re away to install hard- and software on your computer. They now can force you to give them all passwords or you get in jail for a long time. They even don´t need a special reason if they think you´re a suspicous person. In the past they needed to get the official go from a lawyer before. Now they can decide on their own without asking anybody. Now they have rights like a super police.

This is heavy stuff. So I see the market for high security encryption and tools in germany booming in the next years. They also don´t have to inform you after an unsuccessful investigation about your observation. You´ll never now that the have taken a look at you, what informations have been stored where and who can see it and if the programs are still running they can get a perfect profile of your behaviours in the next years. They´re always talking about possible terrorists but the changes are too much to be believable. Even the german constitution has been changed to reach their goals. All new laws in the last years aim to cut all the rights on privacy of the public. This is a bad development and I want to do something against this farce. The only thing I can do is coding. ;)

Ok, you changed my mind. I decided to release the sourcecode. At the moment I think it could be done much better and I´ll add some improvements to it before. During the last weeks I have a lot of really good new ideas I want to implement. Perhaps I first send the source to Bruce and his friends? :D

@f0dder:
Entropy is only a very small indicator for security. Try the other tests in Cryptool like the runs or vitany tests. They give much more information about the quality of the encrypted code and special ranges of these tests have been declared as main arguments in the FIPS-benchmarks of NIST to select the winners of their encryption contests. I can only repeat that I know all the other standard encryption-schemes, how they work, that mine isn´t worse and I even declare how it differs to the others. Even different products with the same AES encryption are different in security. Some products are told to contain a backdoor, others that their algorithm isn´t unbreakable. With the use of OTPs you can create unbreakable code. It´s a pity that I don´t have a quantum-line to ensure 100% transfer of the key or the OTP. I really spent a lot of time and great efforts in the development of these algorithms. It seems that you trust too much in open source. Open source is a good thing to show others how to do special solutions or to create free programs for others. In such things like encryption I personally don´t trust very much in the security of open encryption algorithms that everybody can access and analyse. The "open" that is in most cases a good thing is in this case a weak point. Additionally, I perhaps want to make a commercial product out of Cryptonizer with some other new features I don´t want to reveal now and these are the reasons why I don´t want to spread the source everywhere. Some time ago people thaught DES or AES128 would be secure like you do now for AES that seems not to be very secure to me as your guru Bruce Schneier wrote.
During the AES process, everyone agreed that Rijndael was the risky choice, Serpent was the conservative choice, and Twofish was in the middle. To have Serpent be the first to fall (albeit marginally), and to have Rijndael fall so far so quickly, is something no one predicted.
I become a little bit sceptic when I see that NIST and the NSA wants everybody to use AES for public encryption. Would they really want you all to use an encryption they cannot decrypt without big efforts? Organisations that insist and live from controlling, information gathering and knowing everything about everybody doesn´t seem to be a trustful source for hints and tips. But if you trust in public recommendations of the inventors of the gigantic Echelon project :o , ok - it´s your decision :P.

@dcm_rush
Thank you for your words not to totally shut the eyes for new developments  :Thmbsup:. With such an attitude I would never take a close look to other programs like FARR, fSekrit ;) or other cool things you can find here or anywhere else. I posted the code to other programmers that also said to me this could be a too simple way of encryption. After taking a look on it they admitted it´s impossible for them to say something about it´s safety but the principle should work. If someone has questions I will be here to answer them as good as possible. I started to work on this encryption about 6 years ago for granting a very secure user validation to access a delicate program I made for a big concern and I also want to use it for other things I created in the future. You can believe me. It´s not done just for fun over the weekend. If I see other new cool ideas and improvements I´ll try to integrate them into my Cryptonizer algorithm to even make it better.
