How about asking questions whose answers vary with time, then have the program check the time, compute the correct answer and compare that with the answer supplied by the user.... just a thought...
I made a program that generates a new password everyday. I also made a program with it to list the passwords for a given month and year. (ex. if you wanted a list of the passwords for march, 2006, then it would generate 31 codes for each day.) I didn't feel like putting in a corrector to have it have the number of days for each month (ex. Feburary would still give you 31 days.) But it worked. The password changes everyday, which I have the list to every month. (I also made it output the list to file/printer on user prompt). Time, in my opinion, would be TOO exact. The password would change for every 1 second the person was on. Like I said, TOO exact.Statistics: Posted by Patz QuickBASIC Creations — Fri Dec 16, 2005 1:09 pm

I appoligize to Z!re for my last, sarcastic post which was uncalled for.
(I was just upset about some comments that were made in another topic,
so ignore my last post.)

Didnt even notice it (I was just upset about some comments that were made in another topic,
so ignore my last post.)

Okay. I've come up with an idea for a computer security thing.....
Anyway, the program chooses 3 different questions from a text file, along with their answers. After you logon to Windows, the screen changes to a full background and a window pops up, asking the first question. You only get two tries per question. (to allow for a typo the first time) If you answers all three questions, you are logged in. Fail any question twice and you're pretty much screwed.
In order to prevent users from finding the file containing the q's and a's, I've decided to encrypt it......
I've been following developments on this thread. Everyone seems to be preceeding with the technical aspects of the program. However, I'm still stuck on the fundamental requirements or definition.Anyway, the program chooses 3 different questions from a text file, along with their answers.

QUESTIONS:
1) How do users get to know the questions and answers in the first place? Are you going to give him a list to study? If not, and these are general questions, then can any smart person answer them?
2) Are the questions and answers directly related to each user? Like: what's your mother's maiden name? If the questions are user related like this, then each user needs to have a "user name", and needs to have an enrollment process to set up the questions and answers.
I think you need to decide on the above issues before you start looking at the technicalities. I'll help you with this as best I can.

When obtaining data from another computer:Yeah it could be removed, but also who would think that you emebedded a program into a pci card???!!!
1) Get computer
2) Unplug hard-drive(s)
3) Plug hard-drive(s) into other computer
4) start other computer, check content of hard-drive(s)
Enjoy..
1) Buy hard-drive with custom password embedded by manufacturer of drive.
2)Party hard, and don't worry about the only girl at the party acting like a guy, running her mouth, thinking she's the bomb and can crack into your computers hard-drive and retrieve your most sensitive data
Enjoy the rest of the party

Make a program and put it into a PCI chip. Configure your computer to run the ROM on your PCI chip. Then, it would work
But, PCI chips can be easily removed

Write a password program in Assembler, then load it into your MBR. Yet again, Z!re probably knows that FDISK /MBR could remove this as well, but most people wouldn't recongnize it.
Also, you could grab LILO and install that if you just want to protect your OS. LILO can be configured to ask for a password to boot an operating system.
Or just remove the HD from the compuer and put it in another, as a non-booting disk..Also, you could grab LILO and install that if you just want to protect your OS. LILO can be configured to ask for a password to boot an operating system.

running the program in the autoexec.bat file would stop Z!re's problem except for the last two.
Boot diskette, boot cd..If people want access to you computer, they'll get it, simple as that..
