SUBJECT: Anti-Forensic Scrubbing (The Crowbar).

THE METADATA TRAIL

Every file on Windows carries a "Birth Certificate"—Created Date, Modified Date, Accessed Date. This metadata betrays you. It tells an investigator exactly when you were working.

SHADOW MODE ACTIVATION

HoloSec's "Crowbar" engine engages immediately after encryption. It performs a kernel-level scrub of the file's timestamps:

> Creation Date: Reset to Jan 1, 2077 (or randomized).
> Modified Date: Synced to Null.
> Access Date: Wiped.

TACTICAL UTILITY

This does two things: It protects your privacy, and it protects the Time Lock. By destroying the timestamp, we ensure the file itself cannot betray the key required to open it. The file becomes a black box in a dark room.
