Hi,
I am trying to have a upper filter driver that is able
to filter all access to storage devices.
I want to do:
a. Hide the drive letters from the user so he doesn’t
see them at all(either by explorer or by command
prompt )?
b.Protect the drives no one can access both read/write
?
c. Only kernel level driver can communicate with that
drive(read / write)?
please give me apreciable solution.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
regards,
Rakesh
#1. >#2. Let him see the drive letters, but prevent
the volumes from
mounting?
#3. Allow the volumes to mount, and let him see files
and directories,
but prevent him from opening files?

I am continuously astonished at the money people are willing to throw
way on problems like this, to try to restrict what a user can do, but
without using the extensive and flexible security features of the
operating system itself. What’s the point of this? You can’t possibly
put something like this in a commercial product, because some hacker
will have broken the security and exposed your file system within the
first week. If you are attempting to handcuff your own people, I have
to believe that the solution is in education, not in creating an
expensive and unreliable maintenance nightmare.
I see way too many questions on this list and the kernel newsgroups that
are clearly the result of some second level manager who had a brainstorm
in an executive meeting on a way to solve a personnel problem in
entirely the wrong way.

This task should be easy and done as below:
- Dismount drives which you want to monitor or take control of.
You will obviously need admin priviledge
- Install your filter driver
- Now create your own disk device objects in the filter driver
- Assign drive letters to those objects.
5 Send requests down (only after authentication) for each of those
disk device objects.
