Hi!
I wrote to you the other day to send you my config files (excepted Galactus).
Just to refresh your memory:
I use Secure Drive 1.4a on my data drive.
While running Win3.11wg (with dos7 with locked drives), I load realdeal.exe /pers .
Question:
Since realdeal overwrite everything with 0s, and that theses zeroed sectors are encrypted later with IDEA, will that give an attacker an edge? The attacker will likely know that there are large disk areas that contains 0s.
Any comments?
Thanks
