New Pocket PC Logon Program (CANCELED!!)

by **hockeydude** » Feb 20, 2003 @ 1:10am

I am working on a Pocket PC system logon program. It should be done within the next week or so. It is made in eVB and is fully skinable. As of right now, it is basically done, Im just adding in a few more things. If anyone knows how to Encrypt text/files from within eVB please post some code. That is the only thing that is really non-secure. There is no way out of the program that I know of. No matter what you do, the Program will always kick you back into itself if you do manage to get out. Hopefully you all will like it. You will need to download some type of VB runtime for PPC. I use the one from "Canadian NewFuels Research Centre Inc."

You can get it here:(not sure what the dev's site is)

1. Logon program? Why? To support multiple PPC users or something, presumably?

2. Does the program avoid a soft reset too?

good questions. hehe. No Ppc's do not support multiple users, but if you want someone else to be able to use you device, but still have it PW protected, then this is good. And yes, at this point, it doesnt work after a soft reset, but.....that is only for testing purposes so that I dont get locked out of my device. When I release the program IT WILL WORK AFTER SOFT RESET!

Although I do not have any use of such a program, did you also check to prevent access from AS?
Is your program in any way a replacement for the "Password" feature of PPC or just an "application"? So make sure nobody can connect by AS and kick you out with remote tools like CE remote process viewer. :twisted:

btw. For me it makes no sense to let someone else using my device without to know the PW. :?:

Why not just put it in the Startup folder?

Probably easier through code.

how can you code in a program that starts up automaticall after a soft reset? A soft reset terminates all resident memory, the essence of a reset. Unless you put it in the startup folder no amount of coding well allow it to remain resident after a soft reset unless you code it into the OS kernel, which is protected in read only memory.

I don't really see a reason for this, what's wrong with the built in password?
