I've written an encryption program that shreds the original unencrypted file according to Department of Defence standards. After overwriting the file, I also wipe the date and time stamps, and truncate the file to zero length. I would also like to rename the file before deleting it so that the original name is not visible when using programs like Directory Snoop or Norton Unerase. The problem is that every rename function I've ever seen (DOS, PB, VB, Win API, etc.) actually makes a new directory entry with the new name and shows the old name as being discarded. Of course, this defeats the whole purpose of renaming, since the old filename is still visible. Does anyone have a PB example that writes directly to the MFT? I'm assuming this is the only way to accomplish what I want. I'd be interested in hearing any other ideas anyone has for accomplishing the same thing.
Thanks.
