EaseFilter File Security SDK – Developer Examples
Explore practical file security implementations using the EaseFilter File Security SDK.
These examples demonstrate access control, ransomware protection, encryption, and real-time monitoring for enterprise data protection and compliance.
1) Block Unauthorized Modification of Sensitive Files
Goal: Only allow Microsoft Word to modify .docx files in C:\Confidential; deny writes from all other processes.
Initialize the File Access Control Filter Driver.
Create a rule for C:\Confidential\*.docx.
Whitelist winword.exe; default-deny writes for others.
Audit all blocked attempts for compliance and forensics.
C# Code
// Example 1: Access Control – allow only Word to modify .docx files
using EaseFilter.FilterControl;
using System;
class AccessControlExample
{
static void Main()
{
string licenseKey = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"; // replace with your EaseFilter key
var filterControl = new FilterControl();
if (!filterControl.StartFilter(licenseKey))
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to start EaseFilter: " + filterControl.LastError);
return;
}
// Target sensitive documents
var fileFilter = new FileFilter(@"C:\Confidential\*.docx");
// Start from allow-read, deny-write baseline
fileFilter.AccessFlag = FilterAPI.ALLOW_MAX_RIGHT_ACCESS;
// Enforce deny-write for everyone else
fileFilter.AccessFlag &= ~FilterAPI.ALLOW_WRITE_ACCESS;
// Whitelist Microsoft Word
fileFilter.ProcessNameAccessRightList.Add("winword.exe", FilterAPI.ALLOW_MAX_RIGHT_ACCESS);
filterControl.AddFileFilter(fileFilter);
Console.WriteLine("Access control active. Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
filterControl.StopFilter();
}
}
2) Real-Time Ransomware Detection & Blocking
Goal: Detect rapid file changes (writes/renames) in C:\Data\ and kill suspicious processes before widespread encryption.
Start the File Monitor Filter Driver for critical folders.
Count writes/renames per process in short time windows.
If activity exceeds a threshold, terminate the process.
Log events for incident response and compliance.
C# Code
// Example 2: Ransomware Defense – detect/stop mass file changes
using EaseFilter.FilterControl;
using System;
using System.Collections.Concurrent;
using System.Timers;
using System.Diagnostics;
class RansomwareDefenseExample
{
static readonly ConcurrentDictionary<string,int> ChangeCounts = new ConcurrentDictionary<string,int>();
static Timer windowTimer;
static void Main()
{
string licenseKey = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY";
var filterControl = new FilterControl();
if (!filterControl.StartFilter(licenseKey))
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to start EaseFilter: " + filterControl.LastError);
return;
}
// Check every 5 seconds
windowTimer = new Timer(5000);
windowTimer.Elapsed += AnalyzeWindow;
windowTimer.Start();
var monitorFilter = new FileFilter(@"C:\Data\*");
monitorFilter.MonitorFileEvents = true;
monitorFilter.OnFileChanged += (sender, e) =>
{
if (e.EventType == FilterAPI.FileEventType.OnWriteFile ||
e.EventType == FilterAPI.FileEventType.OnRenameFile)
{
string proc = e.ProcessName?.ToLower() ?? "unknown";
ChangeCounts.AddOrUpdate(proc, 1, (_, oldVal) => oldVal + 1);
}
};
filterControl.AddFileFilter(monitorFilter);
Console.WriteLine("Ransomware monitoring active. Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
windowTimer.Stop();
filterControl.StopFilter();
}
static void AnalyzeWindow(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
const int threshold = 50; // e.g., >= 50 changes in 5 seconds
foreach (var kv in ChangeCounts)
{
if (kv.Value >= threshold && kv.Key != "winword") // sample allowlist
{
Console.WriteLine($"[ALERT] Suspicious activity: {kv.Key} ({kv.Value} changes/5s)");
try
{
foreach (var p in Process.GetProcessesByName(kv.Key))
{
p.Kill();
Console.WriteLine($"Terminated process: {kv.Key} (PID {p.Id})");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Terminate failed for {kv.Key}: {ex.Message}");
}
}
}
ChangeCounts.Clear(); // reset window
}
}
