Dontouch
Do you
often find yourself with a need to hide secret documents from foreign spies or local
authorities? Do you have an overt fear that "they" are out to get you, and if it
wasn't for the headgear you've formed from aluminum foil and old toilet paper rolls
they've surely be reading your thoughts? Good, so I'm not alone in this. Have no fear
though, my U.N. hating, bunker living, Waco anniversary celebrating friends because
Dontouch is here to protect us.
Dontouch
just might be about the most radical and aggressive personal privacy software code written. If merely hiding your files or encrypting them is too wussy for you, then
it's time to step up to the scorched earth policies of Dontouch. With Dontouch you do what
amounts to a combination of booby trapping your files and setting the self-destruct code
while your finger hovers over the trigger.
You
begin by designating any number of the files on your computer as high-risk files that need
to be kept confidential. These are then marked for potential destruction. The next time
you start your computer you'll need to enter a special combination of keystrokes during
the boot process. If you do, everything will be fine. The files will function as normal
with no noticeable difference. However, if you don't type in the correct key sequence,
Dontouch will immediately activate and destroy every file you set up for protection. The
files are not simply deleted but are shredded and made completely unrecoverable. No amount
of undelete or unerase type utilities will ever be able to bring them back.
Dontouch
will even delete itself, the folder it was stored in and every other reference to itself
from your system. That way no one will suspect that files were deleted or tampered with.
They'll simply assume you never had those files in the first place.
Dontouch
may seem a bit heavy-handed, but that's not necessarily all bad. Unlike other means of
protecting your data files that could be broken (spending enough time and resources to
crack and encrypted file for instance), Dontouch gives you the piece of mind of knowing
that if your computer is ever stolen or tampered with, the person doing it can't reach
your private data. Whatever you do, don't forget that key sequence. Nothing like waking up
at two in the morning to check your e-mail and accidentally deleting half the files on
your system because you were too groggy to remember to type it in ;)
