How can I know what trueCrypt volumes are mounted on a computer?
Note I already know what files can be mounted. In other words the only volumes that can be mounted are: C:\Vol1.tc
, C:\Vol2.tc
and C:\Vol3.tc
.
How do I know when a volume is dismounted?
I manage to do that by using the .net class FileSystemWatcher
. Every
time I dismount a volume I notice that the event
FileSystemWatcher.Changed fires.
How do I know when a volume is mounted?
Here is where I am having trouble!
Do I constantly query the drives and see if a drive exists.
That sounds like a bad idea because if someone plugs in a usb and
windows assigns that drive letter to it I will have an error. How can I know when a new virtual drive is created?
Why I need this?
I am required to create an application where the user can see what
trueCrypt volumes are mounted from his phone. The only thing I am
missing to do is find out when a volume is mounted...
As Eugene Mayevski 'EldoS Corp commented, you should use the WM_DEVICECHANGE event.
In combination with the answer I gave to you on this question, here is a sample Code :
class Program : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(new Program());
}
const int WM_DEVICECHANGE = 0x0219;
const int NB_MOUNTED_VOLUMES = 26;
protected override void WndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m)
{
switch (m.Msg)
{
case WM_DEVICECHANGE:
ShowChange();
break;
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
private String[] m_oldMount;
public Program()
{
m_oldMount = new String[NB_MOUNTED_VOLUMES];
for (int i = 0; i < NB_MOUNTED_VOLUMES; i++)
m_oldMount[i] = String.Empty;
}
private void ShowChange()
{
String[] currentMount = GetMountList();
for (int i = 0; i < NB_MOUNTED_VOLUMES; i++)
{
if (currentMount[i] != m_oldMount[i])
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentMount[i]))
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} : Dismount on {1}: => {2}",
DateTime.Now,
(char)('A' + i),
m_oldMount[i]);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} : Mount on {1}: => {2}",
DateTime.Now,
(char)('A' + i),
currentMount[i]);
}
}
}
m_oldMount = currentMount;
}
private String[] GetMountList()
{
uint size = (uint)Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MOUNT_LIST_STRUCT));
IntPtr buffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal((int)size);
uint bytesReturned;
IntPtr _hdev = CreateFile("\\\\.\\TrueCrypt", FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite, IntPtr.Zero, FileMode.Open, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
bool bResult = DeviceIoControl(_hdev, TC_IOCTL_GET_MOUNTED_VOLUMES, buffer, size, buffer, size, out bytesReturned, IntPtr.Zero);
MOUNT_LIST_STRUCT mount = new MOUNT_LIST_STRUCT();
Marshal.PtrToStructure(buffer, mount);
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(buffer);
return mount.wszVolume.Select(m => m.ToString()).ToArray();
}
