scan hdd Version 0.3
A new version of the program is posted. From the changelog:
> Added command line processing.
-h 3 letter block device name to scan e.g.; sda
-b Number of bytes to reserve for large hdd reas e.g.; 256000000
-s Byte signature to scan in comma searated form e.g.; 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Hopefully this will make life easier for people, since you have the capability to customize the way scan hdd works based on your environment.
At this point, the program still relies on '/sys/block/<devname>/size' file to fetch the size of the harddisk. This could also be put in as an argument to the program in the future.
My attention is now changing towards figuring out the sector encryption (that I believe exists). savage and I have been exchanging messages about what algorythms may be in use; and he seems to have some good ideas.
At this point, we are trying different theories and trying to understand the suitability.
Hopefully there will be some more news as the days go by ;-)
