I remember having read a blog post or a forum post, some years ago, about a TrueCrypt user whose Windows machine sometimes, at boot, did not ask for the TC passphrase and decrypted automatically the volume.
It turned out Windows, in some c… Continue reading Windows decrypting TC volume without passphrase?
I’m considering adding encryption to my pc, but I wanted to ask how the daily usage of the computer changes after encrypting the Windows partition with Vera Crypt.
Ideally I would like to encrypt the system disk and the other two I have on… Continue reading Everyday usage of a computer encrypted with VeraCrypt [migrated]
I lost my password for encrypted disk.
Is there a way to do something without dumb cracking?
Maybe recovery mode? Because I just lost 50% of my auth data…?

Every single time I install an new storage device, I’m faced with the same impossible task: how to determine what is the most secure encryption algorithm/settings?
Over the years, I have basically just picked a random one out of the choice… Continue reading How is one supposed to choose between encryption algorithms/settings in VeraCrypt? [duplicate]
"Back in the days" I created a TrueCrypt disk and secured it with a password. This was using Windows 7 and TrueCrypt 7.x
I never needed any of the files in this container, but now I actually do. Anyhow, when trying to open the fi… Continue reading TrueCrypt disc recovery [migrated]

Is there any risk of data corruption if I store TrueCrypt containers inside a fully encrypted USB (USB encrypted using Veracrypt)?
Does encryption inside encryption increase chances of data corruption or other issues?

I’ve been using VeraCrypt / TrueCrypt for years. Now, with a new computer (having Windows 10 Pro) I can consider BitLocker. But, either I am complete ignorant and don’t see something awfully obvious or I can’t understand how … Continue reading How can BitLocker be considered safer, if it doesn’t asks for a key during boot?
I’d like to request if people can suggest or share ways to encrypt files backed up online (Goolge Drive, Dropbox, etc).
I know some of these services do encryption of some sort, but it was recommended to do your own encrypt… Continue reading How to encrypt Cloud backups?
Let’s assume, an attacker gains access to an encrypted container with a weak password. They start a brute-force attack and I assume they will succeed. To protect any content which has been added to the container after the leak, I decide to… Continue reading Is it sufficient to just change the password of a container after a leak?
