YOU ARE DELUDED THE GUY SHOWS UP SAYING NSA IS USING 256 bit KEY, HOW UNBELIEVABLY DELUDED YOU ARE SAYING HE REFRESHED YOU BY AGREEING WITH YOUR BULLSHIT YOU ARE GONE COMPLETELY GONE IN A WORLD OF DELUSION YOU KEEP SAYING HOW EASIER TO USE PROGRAM MAKES IT BETTER FOR SECURITY YOU ARE BEYOND DUMB BEYOND
TrueCrypt is open-source and free under GPL. It is by no means worthless. Is Linux worthless? DVDshrink? Backtrack? Aircrack? etc? I changed to TrueCrypt from Steganos encryption. TrueCrypt is great and has support for OS X and Linux. It must not be that worthless if kana is saying he needs to dedicate his "awesome" system for about 70 hours. I don't think he can if the password is something like this: mDEQETJ/+lifZGF68dD xJ0yvFh6R1xuFOFXaXtC0y59xR06GkN9F4T0p4TK8UmkQtoSIYdfBJfj3ANZyXhz fRVwt/8h0pZzj87SZp2G1Tq8+mehl+SiCWeP0WSRqcmjEDstKrA29g3YEQIDAQAB AoGAJYC8lEa2w+7eZcCflwWildAnI1SfD+2tG2huY70o0iVsnS+DhpzER9Eg44FJ Db3+Gv3nxcJxO5 How is he gonna deal with hidden volume? kana is full of s**t until he decrypts the challenge file. WEP is almost worthless, and yet it stops 90%+ of people out there. I have a chronograph watch and I cracked a 128-bit WEP key (2 days ago) in about 8 minutes with 47k IV's collected. A couple of hours later at a restaurant, I cracked a 64-bit WEP key in about 3 minutes with 17K of IV's collected. At no time during the dozens of WEP AP's I cracked did I see anyone else cracking the AP I'm working on, or any AP's I can see. I can tell if someone was performing an attack. My point is that WEP is still useful for stopping most people. I don't know anyone who can crack my TrueCrypt files. Customs agents at the border, probably not. My purpose for encrypting my files is met. NSA, maybe. If NSA is after my files, I have bigger worries than the privacy of my files.
kana graduates to the ignore pile. Can't believe I got sucked into the idiocy of that troll. Oh well ... it isn't a trading day ... or much of one (currencies) TrueCrypt rocks !
Fine I can't win because you guys are complete imbeciles I'll just have to soothe my sad soul with the money I take from imbeciles like you everyday in the market When a person lacks ability to put the 2 and 2 together to that degree that was demonstrated in this thread I CAN GUARANTEE NONE OF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL traders I can guarantee it I even know you are Americans
OK. I'll bite, it's a slow evening and I'm backing up files. What are we trying to keep secure? Passwords? Data files? If you just want to store data and keep it secure buy a 2 Gigabyte USB drive (pen/thumbdrive). Create a random series of characters using a relatively fancy random number generator, say a linear congruential generator to seed a mersenne twister. Generate a 2 gigabyte one-time pad. Using a simple C# or Visual basic function combine your data on a character by character basis with the one-time pad you created with the random number generator. Run the entire process on a laptop running on its battery inside an oven (not turned on of course for you technicaly challenged folks). That takes care of the TEMPEST problem. Copy the file to another pen drive or CD\DVD. Save the thumb drives in two separate secure locations. Reverse the process to decrypt. Now destroy the laptop's memory and hardrive as the data is obviously worth more than a couple of hundred bucks. Turning the oven on to self-clean will probably do the trick. If this appears a bit complex to protect your financial data use TrueCrypt or PGP.
To have REAL security as opposed to bullshit stupid people use. here is what you do You get PGP 6.0.2 You generate 20 high bit keys you keep encrypting encrypted files 20 times over (or if you are like me more times over) do this on TEMPEST proof computer, Buy META ALLOYS and create your own cage or buy a pre made TEMPEST tent or cage system must be clean of trojans, keyloggers etc I do additional protection with a Faraday cage. if you buy pre made, make sure to test it Good TEMPEST and Faraday combination will not allow your cell phone to work inside the cage on any angle/spot I use expensive laptops for this because its easier to carry in and out and you don't have to use power cables which carries EM risk as well. This whole rig will cost you about 3 k (not counting laptops) proper mounting and unmounting with FULL security takes 10 minutes TRUE SECURITY dictates that you must be vary of physical entrance by NSA/CIA while you are not at home I have nothing against NSA (in fact I admire them) and I am not a wanted man by any power on planet earth I just like REAL security as opposed to BULLSHIT by pseudo thinkers on ET if you don't have money for proper rig or to be a trader go screw yourself Good night PS: in my younger days, I would do mounting unmounting on random locations in the city for tempest protection I am passionate about security
I think ET stinks of failure. Personal Failure Professional Failure Philosophical Failure Lot of you are not capable of doing what it takes to accomplish a goal regardless of what it is. Not that you don't want to, but something is holding you back, lack of neural connections in your brain. Not your fault, you never had a chance.
http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/new_attack_on_a.html So it's news if AES-256 can be cracked in 2^119 or maybe 2^110.5 .... still far beyond any computer .... Are Schneier and the people who figured this out idiots too?
