Hey guys. I had a problem in school, the professor would give us a coding problem and I'm usually the only one who solves it, but we have all the computer connected and all the others have the folder where I save the program and the source code bookmarked and always steel it. I don't care about that much, but I am wondering what kind of techniques are there to hide files and/or folders from other computers in a network where they practically have full access to your computer?
I usually hide them in a random application program files, like Firefox's plugins folder etc.
Hidding files

Re: Hidding files
hm, why not simply zip the files and password-protect the archive? you could also use Truecrypt...

Winrar -> password
Re: Hidding files
Good ideas. I haven't used xyplorer yet so can't comment on that. But the thing is I don't need something to protect my files, I need to hide them. Because, by the time I rar and set a password for my files, they're already distributed all over. Besides, I'm pretty sure someone would just delete that rar file when they see that it's password protected, "if I can't have it, you can't have it".

Re: Hidding files
gawd, what kind of classmates do you have?
but in this case Truecrypt can do the job, you can set up a hidden partition with it which can only be accessed by using a keyfile you carry on an USB stick for example. for all others the partition will be completely invisible.

Since cheating in school is practically a sport around here, they're preeeetty well trained
Nah, I don't mind them, they copy the source code just to see how it's done, which is ok. But lately one of them started to even take credit for it... oh no you won't
Thanks for the link, I'll definitely try it out

Are you running windows or a linux machine? What kind of code are you writing? I would deliberately miss code the assignment to teach them a lesson in copying.

Re: Hidding files
We have windows machines there.
Pretty basic C++ stuff.
The guy that started taking credit knows how to code, so won't be a big problem to fix what I missed. He just lacks the brain power to come up with a solution to a problem.
