Thread: How to REALLY hide your files, so even the NSA can't find em! (PICS INCLUDED)

Hi,Nice Tutorial Thanks a lot:)..

It actually turns out that even now 3 years after I posted this, they are still having major trouble with full-disk encryption..

Cool article- I've never thought about investigators trying to retrieve data before they bag all the evidence up.

Hey kon, does this program work on external devices? USB drives and external hard drives? What wouldn't it work on?

indeed this is a valuable tool for most of us people torrenting and download stuff from sites that is mostly copyright.
have bin using it for a while now and is really simple to use and a decent gui.

It should work on any readable+writable drive.

NASA could crack that in seconds if they really wanted to.

But, for protections against hackers, it would work very well. Good tut - repped :)

No, they won't. The heat death of the universe will be realized before they can brute force the password. The (good) algorithms used are vetted by the math and cryptography communities (don't ever use something from a vendor who is using proprietary crypto algorithms), and new flaws that become known are released (see some MD5/RSA keys). What is more likely are flaws in the truecrypt implementation of those algorithms; fortunately it is open source so bugs are fixed much faster.

So PGP full disk encryption is no longer good ? Or only when symantec got a hold on them , I started using PGP after a break in and got my laptop stolen ,I went overboard and bought me a PGP full disk, after realizing I was to paranoid about getting my data secured , I think that truecrypt is suffice enough hell I think turning on the windows bitlocker is suffice enough to secure your data .
