When running manually the MD5 checksum integrity check from a USB Live Boot medium (Linux Mint 19), the command line shows “failed” for these 5 files:
grub.cfg
loopback.cfg
chain.c32
isolinux.cfg
vesamenu.c32
What could be the cause,… Continue reading Linux Live USB medium MD5 checksum integrity check failed for 5 files, are these files relevant?
Can an expert please explain me which of following three methods working with an OS is technically considered more “secure” – and why (pros/cons)?
Security I mean aspects like:
-preventing any malware to “swap” over to the other drives o… Continue reading What is difference running Linux by live USB vs. by VirtualBox?
Can you please hint me to the steps I need to verify a file’s signature (without connecting to the Internet) on command line using GnuPG, when I have the required files ready:
-installation file (eg the .exe file)
-the respective .asc sig… Continue reading How to verify a GPG file signature on Linux and Windows without connecting to the Internet?
Many files that are available for download (eg in github) come along with “asc” signature files attached, or with a sha256 file hash. Can someone please explain difference of PGP signatures vs file hashes?
My questions:
Is the purpose o… Continue reading File authentifications via PGP versus via unique file hashes
There is a file found by antivirus program and it was put into the virus’ quarantine section (its not a false positive). Now I don’t know how to handle this “quarantined” files.
What is the best practice and secure way to deal with them… Continue reading How to remove quarantined virus securely?
What is considered as safe method to store files in the cloud currently and in the future (quantums) so that no potential hacker could open the file? Which current encryption methods to use for it to not being brute forced?
Thanks
There is a scrypt cipher which is used for exmaple by some cryptos like LItecoin for their mining algorithm.
I never heard of scrypt. I know eg SHA256 which is well analyzed and considered as secure until now.

keepass is open source on github right? Is there any way to “append” its existing AES256, double the key size, make the program support AES512? What are ways to achieve that result
Thanks

can you please explain the strength of veracrypt and keepass compared?
Whats theoretically easier to break if both use the exact same password for their respective containers, the vcrypt or keepass file?
Are they both still considered i… Continue reading Encryption strength veracrypt vs keepass?
If you have created an encrypted file but the volume which you selected for it needs expansion, is it from security standpoint fine to just use the available option “expand volume” to adjust the file’s volume? Or is it for s… Continue reading Veracrypt encrypted file – how to expand the Volume [migrated]
