I am trying to construct a way to keep certain hard drive partitions/usb drives from being accessed for security reasons (protecting intellectual property). I was thinking that when windows attempts to access the ‘locked down drive/usb’ the attempted is halted and returns something like ‘drive inaccessible’ or something. It’s just an idea, anyone thing it is plausible/possible? If so, any pointers?
C/C++
-Thanks
You will need to write a filter driver to achieve your goal. You will need to put your driver somewhere in disk driver stack and fail the IRP_MN_START_DEVICE for the drive/partition you want to block.
You will need Windows Driver Kit to write drivers. There is a sample of filter driver in the WDK. This mailing list as a very useful and if you will search the archives you will find a lot of information about disk filter drivers.
A good article about writing filter drivers is here, i think you will need to register to read, but if you want to write driver you should be registered on this site.
Relevant book list can be found here.
