Does Tiger store sensitive data in its files like OS 9 did?

OS 7-9 and perhaps earlier stored sensitive data in files. For example once I copied a file to a floppy disk, and sometime later popped this disk in a PC. For some reason the file became corrupted and when I opened the file on the PC I was able to see the volume name of my Mac, the path, and other data that I never put there. The old OS always seemed to leave behind tracks in files. Does OSX do the same?
I have been looking for a way to find out myself, but since NDE classic crashes the classic environment in OSX, and I have been unable to find a OSX alternative to NDE (does one exist)? I have been stuck.
NDE was able to open volumes, see hidden files, change type/creator codes, and do other things. Does a alternative exist in OSX? It would be useful.

Hi, John.
You wrote: "NDE was able to open volumes, see hidden files, change type/creator codes, and do other things. Does a alternative exist in OSX? It would be useful."I'm not familiar with NDE, but some of the screen shots you posted look like the same kind of output you can get from X-Ray.
When looking for new applications, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings are helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Good luck!

  • I installed a game, where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?

    I installed a game,Now I need to add some files however, I cannot find where iMac stores it.. where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?
    thx alot
    erik

    Depends on game, i would look first on the game file itself, right click (or ctrl click) the game file you installed (Applications?) and select show package contents, its usually a application bundle, as in basicly a folder where the application and the required files and subfolders are.

  • How to store the data of a file into an ArrayList?

    Hi! everyone.
    I want to know
    if I have a File, and the data in the file are type int, type String...
    And I have a ArrayList which is of type Question
    How do I store the data of that file into the ArrayList
    I tried to use the while loop(use the hasNextLine() to read the data line by line)
    But I cannot add data which are not of type Question to the ArrayList.
    Can you tell me what I should do, please?
    I also wonder that
    The data of the file are of many types, but when I try to read it with the nextLine(), the data all turn out to be of type String. Why?
    Thank you.
    Edited by: Terry001 on Apr 30, 2008 1:13 PM

    No, a line in the file is just part of a question
    The format of the file is like this:
    *<question type code>                    :     String*
    *<question point value>                    :     int*
    *<question category>                         :     String*
    *<question difficulty level>               :     int*
    *<question text>                              :     String*
    *<question correct answer>               :     String*
    *<optional question-specific data>     :     String*
    *<question terminator>                    :     String*
    And here is an example
    TF //TrueFalseQuestion
    5 //points value
    None //category
    3 //difficulty level
    The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C. //question text
    True // answer
    *** //quetion terminator
    I created an ArrayList in the Test class:
    private ArrayList<Question> questions; // Create inside constructor
        public Test (String name, String instr)
            testName = name;
            scoreEarned = 0;
            scorePossible = 0;
            instructions = instr;
            questions = new ArrayList<Question>(); //[MAX_NUMBER_OF_QUESTIONS];
        }And I tried to use the following method to store the data of the file to the ArrayList
    // This method loads a set of questions from a plain text file
        public void loadQuestionsFromFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException
            try
                File fileReader = new File("input.txt");
                Scanner sc = new Scanner(fileReader);
                while (sc.hasNextLine())
                    // I don't know how to pass the data I got from the nextLine() method to the ArrayList because they are of different type
            catch (FileNotFoundException a)
                System.out.println(a);
        }    As all you said, I should create an Question object in the while loop
    Question temp = new Question ();But I have no idea how to pass the int and String to the Question object.
    Thank you

    Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
    RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as  it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
    Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
    Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
    What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
    If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

  • Need to store sensitive data in a table, need to encrypt or data masking

    Hello,
    I have a table that contains a column of sensitive data. Which is a good method to encrypt this column? How about data masking the column? Other methods? Thank you in advance.

    Will need to share with us who is supposed to see and not supposed to see the data and under what circumstances.
    There are a number of ways to restrict access: via view/roles/privileges, encryption (DBMS_CRYPTO), or TDE if you want to buy the Advanced Security extra-cost option for Enterprise Edition.

  • Does JDeveloper deploy the data-sources.xml file?

    Hi,
    My project has a data-sources.xml file. When I deployed the project, JDeveloper created a .war file. The data-sources.xml file is not in the .war file. How will the application server pick up the data source if the xml file is not getting deployed?
    Thanks,
    Merced

    data-sources.xml configures the datasource with the oc4j server.
    A <Application>-data-sources.xml file also gets added for a project to the project directory.

  • How to store my data in a file?

    I Get my data in several indicators. I need to store them in a file

    Pushpa,
    You should use VIs from the File I/O palette to save the data to your hard disk.
    You can also look into /examples/file VIs for additional help on how to save to different file types.
    In the feature, you should post the pure LabVIEW related questions to the LabVIEW forum.

  • How to open and store a data to excel file usig java

    you hava a data in database .you can reterive the data and tranformed to excel file.you can save as well as poen it possible or not?

    Here is your basic issue: setting a classpath (and presumably compiling and executing a program) is one of the most basic, fundamental concepts in Java. I would advise you to follow JVerd and Annie's links and get started on a tutorial. Try writing a simple HelloWorld application before delving into POI. When you are more comfortable writing and compiling programs, and post a specific question, it will be much easier to help you.

  • Where does workspace store the pdf and excel file ?

    Hi,
    I'm working on a Web Analysis project and I have created a dynamic web menu based on the workspace repository to improve the poor capacities of WA in terms of menu. I use the javascript API to control the WA applet from the menu.
    Now my problem is that my customer created a folder in workspace (which is translated into a sub menu of my dynamic menu), and that folder contains pdf and excel files. The function openFile which I use to open report in the applet doesn't work on pdf and excel files. So I've been looking for the files on the server, to know where they are stored, so that I could just modify the java class that generates the menu.
    I couldn't find those files on the server. Where are they ? Are they stored in the database as an xml string like the report s ? If yes then I might have a problem.
    Has anyone already done this ?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Can we store ORACLE DATA and LOG files in seperate file system

    I am installing NW2004s in HP UNIX Server with Oracle database
    I have selected the option as custom
    I would want the SAP datafiles to be stored in /sapdata  file system
    Log files to be stored in /oraclelog file system
    While installation SAP is just asking me for the location of SAP data files. It is not asking me for the location of the log files.
    (It is asking me for the location of control files)
    Hence as per my understanding the oracle log files can be saved only in  the same directory as oracle Data file.
    Please confirm

    I have heard reports of people that made some kind of synchronization between AD and OID, but I have no hands on experience with this. There are some notes on metalink that describe the process, but I try to stay away from AD as far as possible (I usually work on unix or linux environments and those don't really mix with AD).

  • I want to store the Data Pump export files on a remote machine

    Hi,
    I have two database servers running, A and B. I want to kick off a cron job on A that takes a dump and stores it on a directory on B every night.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks.

    One other option might be to use the NETWORK_LINK parameter. Let's say you want the files of export from A to be created on the server where B resides. Create a database link from B to A, then run expdp from B using the network link pointing to A
