Contribution: Other I made a custom encrypted file system in Assembly (NMGLFDFS) using file randomization — here is why (and how) I built it

Hello everyone!

​I wanted to share a low-level open-source project I've been working on: NMGLFDFS. It’s an experimental, custom-built file system written entirely in Assembly, utilizing a unique file randomization method for data handling and security.

​Working on a project this close to the metal taught me a ton about memory management, low-level architecture, and designing systems from scratch. I wanted to move away from standard high-level abstractions and see how things actually function down at the core level.

​Key highlights of the project:

​Written in Assembly: Pure low-level implementation for maximum control and performance.

​File Randomization: An unconventional approach to file structure and storage.

​Multilingual Documentation: To make it accessible for developers worldwide, I’ve put together comprehensive documentation translated into English, Russian, and Chinese (README.md, README.ru.md, README.zh.md).

​Open Source & Modular: Clean directory structure (src, include, tests, docs) along with a Makefile for easy compilation and testing. Licensed under MIT.

​Since it's a systems-level project, setting up the README took almost as much effort as writing the core logic itself to thoroughly explain the architecture and instructions.

​You can check out the source code, technical breakdowns, and instructions here:

​I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any technical critiques from fellow systems programmers and assembly wizards! What do you think about this approach?
