I would like to store encrypted backups on an external hard disk and am wondering what the differences are between creating an encrypted (Veracrypt) container and creating an encrypted partition.
Are there any differences be… Continue reading Differences between using an encrypted container and encrypting a partition
I am using a non-SSD drive: Western Digital Black 1TB. Windows XP (please don’t judge why I’m still using XP).
I am using Truecrypt.
Q1. If I were to create a system partition drive C: and 2-3 non-system partition drives D:, E:, F:, etc…. Continue reading How secure is my encryption security Using Truecrypt?
I am looking to run my laptop system with a dual boot configuration (Fedora + Windows) with full disk encryption.
I have a laptop that I will be bringing with me while traveling, both domestically and abroad. For obvious rea… Continue reading Full disk encryption on dual boot system (Truecrypt/Veracrypt)
I have an old truecrypt file that I’d like to decrypt.
I know the 18 characters password I was using at the time, I’m sure of it. However I made a “variation” of it : I mapped some characters to l33t equivalent (I know, I know… I was yo… Continue reading truecrypt volume – Recover 18char known password with hashcat (characters variations)
So I want to ask if it is possible to encrypt my Tails bootable USB drive with TrueCrypt for example. Will it still be bootable, just requiring a password before booting into tails?
I’m dusting off an hold drive and unfortunately forget the password. I’m going to run a word list against it using TrueCrack however I’m a little confused on how to extract the volume header to run tc against.

The top answer to this question and the article it references
explain that when an adversary can see snapshots of a Truecrypt container over time, the encryption is weakened. That same answer suggests that duplicity may be a… Continue reading How robust is duplicity encryption when the backup server is untrusted?
I’m considering setting up a hidden partition, but I’m becoming increasingly confused the more times I see it claimed that plausible deniability isn’t effective. Under not-unusual circumstances, it seems suitable to me.
Per… Continue reading ELI5 why plausible deniability doesn’t work in reality

I, like many people, have a SSD on which Windows and Program Files reside, along with secondary HDD that contains all user profile data. I ran into a roadblock recently, and can’t seem to find the best solution for this (best… Continue reading What is the best way to encrypt a system drive while automounting a secondary drive with User Profiles?
