Short: simple password protection on boot Author: Rupert Hausberger Uploader: Rupert Hausberger Type: util/misc Version: 1.2 Architecture: generic Description =========== "passwd" is a small tool to protect your machine form unauthorized access. It's not so hard to break it, so it may work for unexperienced users. Features ======== - 128-bit - MUI-GUI - Disk-log Requirements ============ - AmigaOS3.x - MUI 3.8 Installation ============ Copy the executable to C: Usage ===== "passwd" does only work from a shell or script. Arguments --------- K=KEY,MK=MAKEKEY K=KEY - operate using MK=MAKEKEY - generate a key First you need to generate a key form your password. It's a 128-bit CRC of the password. Open a shell and type: C:passwd mk test1234 This will output: Insert the following text after 'IPrefs' in your startup-sequence: C:passwd 8C9AE431D738118E12DD991BA9452323 Now do the above and your setup. At the next reboot a small window will popup and ask you to enter the password. In our example, you need to enter 'test1234' to gain access. If the entered password was incorrect a delay of 1 minute is started. After the delay you can try to enter the password again. If it's again wrong a delay of 3 minutes is started, like 1,3,9,27,81 mins... Additionally, all access is logged to C:passwd.log, witch is not write- or deleteable. I will give no hints on how to break it, because every experienced user does know it :) Author ====== ©2008-2012 Rupert Hausberger http://natmeg.mooo.com/ License ======= GPL.
