Title
Ransomware-resistant filesystem
Goal
Design and implement a filesystem that malware cannot permanently damage
Description
Ransomware-resistant filesystem or storage device. Revisit the ideas behind log-structured filesystems in order to maintain the filesystem so that it can always be rolled back to previous states. This could even be done at the physical device level (e.g. build a device that filters SATA commands), so you can't actually destroy anything permanently without physical intervention. Implement this, either within the Linux kernel, as a FUSE userspace filesystem, or as a prototype in userspace. (A previous student did the last of these, so I'd rather see a working implementation.)
