Started by schwa · 10 months ago

MacFUSE has been taking the Mac development community by storm. I’ve been hoping for a while that Fuse would get ported to Mac OS X, and Amit Singh fortunately obliged. I won’t bother elaborating on what MacFUSE is, Amit does a fine job of that himself, however I would ... Continue reading »

I'm trying to find a way to encrypt a directory of python scripts and have them mounted virtually inside the host application in order to make it harder for hackers to see whats going on. Basically I don't want to mount the FS and then have it accessible via the Finder for example, only in the application that mounts it (I presume this is possible via the C API)

    I dont think you can mount something completely privately like that. I think you can suprress the notifications that get sent when a volume is mounted though.

    But can't you do what you're trying to with normal python .zip format modules?

    Thats very very interesting to learn about! Does it handle encryption though? That would be perfect!
  • "handle encryption"? Not sure what you mean exactly.

    There's no encryption in (Mac) FUSE or my objc wrapper.
  • Very cool, I was up and runnning in very little time. Do you know if Spotlight will try and index one of these mounted volumes ?
  • Awesome! Yet another great reason to dump Linsux and Windoze.
