Harddisk serial lock

[Medic]

Hi,

Am working on a prog that has a serial number which is based on the harddisk serial for vol c:

Anyone know if there is a standard calls that I could watch to see when the HDD serial is fetched?

Had a good look round the forum and web and found that most developers write their own code snipet to fetch the harddisk serial.

Thanks,

Medic

Hi klier,

Thanks for the link.

Sadly that method isn't listed in the Import Function list for this prog. Will try and find out if there is another function that does the same thing.

Cheers,

It might very well just be dynamically imported, just to make it a little bit harder to hook...

Thanks,

Filemon holds the answer!

Undocumented function of NTDLL is being called:

FileFsVolumeInformation

Will now try and discover what is calling it!!

Thanks again.
