»VeraCrypt öffnet keine TrueCrypt-Container mehr:
Die alte .tc-Datei ließ sich früher per VeraCrypt im TrueCrypt-Modus öffnen, doch die Option fehlt nun, Mounten scheitert. Wie komme ich an meine Daten?«

Gut zu wissen wie ich nun mit den alten verschlüsselten Dateien im @veracrypt umgehen kann.

The Shufflecake Project @shufflecake@fosstodon.org

We stumbled onto an interesting HackerNews submission about Graphene OS, the secure AOSP mobile OS. The topic is about the request for a GOS duress password feature that, instead of wiping the device (as it does now), unlocks a "decoy" user profile. A comment by a user claiming to be an official GOS community mod caught our attention. We would like to respond to the arguments of that user. [continue...]

Und was macht die #Windows Kiste in der Nacht?

Genau, ein #Update mit #Reboot

Ich habe echt keine Ahnung wie man je mit #Windows vernünftig arbeiten kann.

veracrypt.ioVeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the ParanoidVeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files.

File encryption with a browser.

I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!

When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!

I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.

Live Demo: https://dim.positive-intentions.com/?path=/story/usefs--encrypted-demo

Demo Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim/blob/staging/src/stories/05-Hooks-useFS.stories.js

Hook Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim/blob/staging/src/hooks/useFS.js

IMPORTANT NOTES (PLEASE READ!):
* This is NOT a product. It's for #testing and #demonstration purposes only.
* It has NOT been reviewed or audited. Do NOT use for sensitive data.
* The "password encryption" currently uses a hardcoded password. This is for demonstration, not security.
* This is NOT meant to replace robust solutions like #VeraCrypt. It's just a #proofofconcept to show what's possible with #browser #APIs.

@jrdepriest @quinn I'd just not risk it and #VeraCrypt like all file containers, doesn't change the mdate and thus bricks #OneDrive #sync.

Why you should use full-disk encryption

If any of the arguments I make below apply to you, you should use full-disk encryption. I am pretty sure the first argument applies to everyone. The second argument applies at least to everyone in the EU and the US state of California. The third argument applies to everyone again.

You will fail to delete drives properly

Storage media get lost. Most people do not know how to properly delete hard disk content before selling them, or they forget it. In the case of flash drives, or SSDs, standard tools like shred don't work. hdparm may do the trick, but this is not well known. If you are lucky, the manufacturer of you SSH provides a Windows app that lets you delete it securely. Your server does not run on Windows of course.

The law demands it

#GDPR and similar data protection and privacy laws require you to store no #PII (personal data) permanently. You have to anonymize PII or delete it after a few weeks. IP addresses are PII. All servers store IP addresses by default. The GDPR also demands that you use state-of-the-art technology to protect sensitive data. Full disk encryption is the state of the art.

Law enforcement makes "mistakes"

I'm a board member of @Artikel5eV, an organisation that runs relays on the Tor network, including exit relays. Running Tor relays is perfectly legal in Germany. Nevertheless, law enforcement agencies have raided the homes of Artikel 5 e.V. board members twice. Illegally so, as a court confirmed recently. I won't run Tor relays in my home, but there is a good chance that my home will be raided one day unless all police officers and prosecutors decide to obey the law.

There is also a possibility that the rule of law might collapse in your country sooner or later. We are just witnessing it in the USA.

You already mentioned that ordinary thieves can also be a problem.

Encryption is available for free

So what is your case against disk encryption? It is obvious that it alone does not solve all IT security issues, but it is an important building block. #LUKS is reliable free and open-source software for HD encryption. If you are not using Linux, check out #VeraCrypt. The Raspberry Pi 5 comes with hardware acceleration for AES, so there no longer is a noticeable performance penalty for encryption.

@agu 1,2kg is a pretty steep target, but feasible unless you want a 15" 4k monster with dedicaded GPU.

As with toolfree-swappable storage, that is easy to solve too.

I'd recommend to use either #LUKS-encrypted #btrfs or #VeraCrypt-encrypted #ext4 for portable storage...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)Attached: 1 image @Clygro@labyrinth.zone @fuchsiii@oxytodon.com I literally have this one. The LG GGC-H20L... Sadly it doesn't do #BDXL so I had to basically get a BU40N as well... And now my front bay is crammed to the max.
