It adds Lock with Anvi Folder Locker option to the file context menu so that you can lock files quickly and easily. Not all users want *password* protected folders. Some just want protected folder: they are not accessible unless granted access by the user (i.e., whitelisted). The whitelist would have to be protected, like with a hash, to prevent unauthorized alteration. Instead of having to enter a password everytime a protected folder is accessed - which is not possible for scheduled tasks or processes that access the folder while the user is not at the computer - the user would run the program to then get prompted to add to the whitelist. Since everything is blacklisted until whitelisted, there is no need for a separate blacklist. Everything is already blacklisted except for the exceptions (whitelist). Once whitelisted, the user is never prompted again. However, malware can call itself whatever it wants. So the whitelist needs a hash of the process’ memory image to insure only that process by that name has access to the protected folder. ![]() Using passwords is so old-school and extremely coarse for granularity of protection. Instead of having a doorman that regulates only tenants of a building can enter, instead you have a store that either has its doors open or closed to EVERYONE. Once a user opens a folder by entering a password, EVERY process gets access, including and ransomware the user comes across is laying in wait on their computer. Password protected folders is very poor protection.SIMBL (a.k.a. SIMBL APPLICATION SUPPORT FOLDER PASSWORD Simple Bundle Loader and Smart Input Manager Bundle Loader) is the basis for mySIMBL.
