What is EaseFilter File System Control Filter SDK?

EaseFilter File System Control Filter SDK

EaseFilter File System Control Filter SDK is a super handy tool that comes with a bunch of libraries and samples. You can use it with C++, C#, or even a C# console to create systems that control what happens with files.

Build Your Own File Control System

This tool helps you build a driver that reads and filters requests aimed at the file system. What's cool is that you can modify these requests before they actually get to where they're headed!

Monitor File Activities Easily

The file system control filter you create can keep an eye on all the file activities happening. It reads the calls made to the file system and gives you the power to change what those requests contain before they hit their target.

Control Requests Before They Happen

Basically, you get to decide what happens to each request before it reaches the file system. You can automatically allow, deny, or even cancel these actions! Just set up certain filters and rules that help detect what needs to happen for each situation.

Easily Modify Rules and Filters

You can change these rules and filters whenever you need to, which means you're in charge of what info gets sent about any file activity.

Decide What Happens With Files

For example, you can choose if a file should be opened, created, or replaced. You also get to decide if data should be read or written—pretty neat!

Create Custom Rules for Various Actions

You can set rules for various tasks like handling queries, setting file attributes, checking size or time, managing security features, renaming files, deleting them, browsing through files, or even closing requests.

A Versatile Tool for Many Purposes

The features this SDK adds make it perfect for all sorts of applications! Whether you're building Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solutions or robust security software, it's got your back.

Follow Guidelines When Setting Up Filters

Just remember some important rules when configuring your control filters! To avoid any messy situations like deadlocks in your system (yikes!), check out the documentation that comes with the tool. For instance, steer clear of asynchronous procedure calls or using any file operations in buffered mode.
