When Windows clears the page file, does it Zero it out or is it just released to free space?
Not sure what you mean about TC Devs advising against full disk encryption for ssd drives. The only way to ensure data security with ssd drives...
The complete answer to your question is this: If someone has physical access to your system, they can access anything. A BIOS boot password...
A hard (power off) shutdown is no worse for a mounted Truecrypt volume than it is for a non-encrypted volume. If the shutdown occurs in the...
If you decrypted and uninstalled Truecrypt, how could this be related to Truecrypt? If there is a problem with decrypting a disk/partition, the...
C64? You mean Commodore 64??? You can't erase a modern hard disk with a hand held magnet. The magnetic field strength required is like 1000...
Just to insert a bit of perspective here... Unless the computer technician is a NSA agent, he won't be taking Phil's hard drive apart and...
Here is a quote: Prosecutors stressed that they don't actually require the passphrase itself, the defendant would be permitted to type the...
? If your system is encrypted with TrueCrypt or bitlocker and fully shut down, no boot disk will crack your computer. Caspian gave the right...
This article is purely about brute force password guessing using GPUs. Nothing new. Interestingly, the article discusses passwords up to 12...
Eh?? The OP noted that a program called "Passware" can extract encryption keys from memory and/or hiberfil.sys No malware required. Of course...
A stupid user is someone that uses truecrypt but doesn't understand what they are doing. An example is someone that uses file based containers...
I don't know about bitlocker but if you read the Truecrypt docs you will find a warning(s?) about using hibernation. In theory, if you are...
Plausible deniability is a tricky subject for sure. The only way you can have confidence in it is to really understand the details of how a...
There would be no point in having a hidden volume if that were true. The size of the hidden volume is stored in the header of the hidden volume....
Checking the "protect hidden volume" does nothing if you don't supply both passwords. TC won't mount either volume until you supply both...
Is there some specific security risk associated with encrypting after the OS is installed or are you just trying to be extra Over-The-Top secure?
The caption under the video reads: "Every office should have one of these next to the shredder" Most office shredders have no problem shredding...
This is obviously high voltage AC. Judging by the arc gap, it's at least 15 thousand volts. Lots of current so there must be a 20-30 pound...
No matter how legit the website seems, I never fill in those "required" fields with real information when downloading trial software.
Have to agree with J_L, Weakness in cryptography is almost never in the algorithm but in the implementation. How will you verify that your...
I have found it near impossible to find the torx sizes used in newer hard drives. A standard set will have most but not the tiny ones. What...
1. there is the problem of "wear leveling" with the usb stick ;this could be alleviated by moving the file container to the hd. Wear leveling is...
Sorry I can't help in your quest but glad to give you a laugh. To continue the thought, what about physical destruction? Enter the "kill"...
For me, it is really cool that it would take years (possibly decades) to brute force an AES encrypted data volume if I use 20 RANDOM characters...
