Note: 1. If a User set the drive as Read-Only, Admin can override this by setting the drive as Read/Write in
Admin mode.
2. If Admin set the drive as Read-Only, the User cannot set the drive as Read/Write.
31. Enable Read/Write in User Mode
2
To set the datAshur PRO
to Read/Write, fi rst enter the "User Mode" as described in section 14. Once the drive is in User Mode (solid
GREEN
LED) proceed with the following steps.
1. In User mode, press and hold down "7 + 9"
buttons. (7=Read + 9=Write)
2. Press KEY ( ) button
Note: 1. If a User set the drive as Read-Only, Admin can override this by setting the drive as Read/Write in
Admin mode.
2. If Admin set the drive as Read-Only, the User cannot set the drive as Read/Write.
32. Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism
2
The datAshur PRO
incorporates a defence mechanism to protect the drive against a Brute Force attack. By default, the brute force
limitation for Admin PIN and User PIN is set to 10, for the Recovery PIN is 5. Three independent brute force counters are used to record
the incorrect attempts for each PIN authorisation. If user enters an incorrect Admin PIN ten consecutive times, (broken down into 5,3,2,
clusters as described below) the drive will be reset and all data will be lost forever. If user enters incorrect Recovery PIN or User PIN and
exceed the respective brute force limitation, the corresponding PINs will be cleared but the data will still exist on the drive.
Note: The brute force limitation is programmed to initial values when the drive is completely reset or self-destruct
feature is activated. If Admin changes the User PIN, or a new User PIN is set when activating recovery feature, the
User PIN brute force counter is cleared but the brute force limitation is not affected. If Admin changes the Recovery
PIN, the Recovery PIN brute force counter is cleared.
Successful authorisation of a certain PIN will clear the brute force counter for that particular PIN, but not affect the
other PINs brute force counter. Failed authorisation of a certain PIN will increase the brute force counter for that
particular PIN, but not affect the other PINs brute force counter.
• If a user enters an incorrect User PIN 10 consecutive times, the User PIN will be deleted but the data, Admin PIN and Recovery
PIN remain intact and accessible.
• If an incorrect Recovery PIN is entered 5 consecutive times, the Recovery PIN is deleted but the data and Admin PIN remain
intact and accessible.
• The Admin PIN uses a more sophisticated defence mechanism in comparison to the User and Recovery PINs. After 5
consecutive incorrect Admin PIN entries, the drive will lock and the RED,
point the following steps need to be taken in order to allow the User a further 3 PIN entries.
