second virtual filesystem

Post by aargh »

It would be possible to extend the virtual box, so as to permit an extra virtual file system in an external file. Such a add into virtual directory tree like unix mount?

So you mean that there will be few virtual systems and you may switch from one virtual system to another?

What is the purpose of this...?

Not that I did not think so. That's my bad English;-)
I will try to paint it.

Code: Select all

<Virtual Box files>
 \ __ <% DEFAULT FOLDER%>
          \ _ <ANY_REAL_FOLDER>
          \ _ <MOUNTED_EXTERNAL_VFS>
          \ _ <ANY_REAL_FOLDER>

So the option of spreading "data or code" into the more protected files.

Yeap.. I still do not understand the idea...

Maybe something that you are asking already implemented?

Maybe you mean that Virtual Box could handle both virtual and real folders? If so, then VB is doing so. For example, if the folder real folder contain 10 files and same virtual folder contain 10 files, then protected application will be seen 20 files, both virtual and real..

If I still mistaked, can you please explain your idea more carefully :)

Hi aargh

Real Folder??? What does it mean? If you mean you want to leave this folder as it is behind, Then you do not need to make it virtual. Just put this folder in root directory of your virtual application. I mean first you can make your virtual application then you can put any other real folders in its root directory to work with it.

If Real folder means that you do not want to make it virtual or etc,But you want to compress it with your virtual app, You can set this real folder option to "Always Write to Disk".

BTW Enigma is waiting for your respond if I'm wrong :)

I'll try to describe it another way.

Example:
I have exe protected by enigma.
Exe contains a virtual box and in the VB are required DLLs and other files organized to directory structure.
And I need to be able to mount another virtual box, which is in an external file.
This secondary VB is "pinned" (mounted) to primary VB directory structure as another directory.

The reason is the ability to split data into multiple VBs

Ok "Real folder" is not correct. Correctly is a primary virtual folder.

Ok, looks like I've understood..

You need a sub-virtual system, that should be placed in some external file and this sub-virtual system should be mounted to primary system as a folder.

So you could, for example, send a file to the user with another sub-system and successfully mount it.. That's correct?

I think it is too complicated way... To do same things you may protected one exe with primary file system, and then protect this exe with secondary file system, and send necessary exe to the users.. The logic is the same as you require..

I know it's not easy. I just wanted to know if someone has not realized this.

Thanks for the replies.
