I found a solution called WitchFile ( http://www.witchfile.com )

how about WitchFile ?

So you create a Truecrypt volume container (say J: drive) with a specified size, say 5gb.

And you save some files onto this volume like you would a normal hard drive.

After your done, you dismount. But then you accidently delete the volume container,

do you then loose all the data in that container? I mean Truecrypt is good for hiding and encrypting data, yes,

but if it can be deleted so easily (when dismounted), what’s the point, there’s no benefit.

I was searching for encryption solution where i found relatively simple solution which is the data encryption software called TrueCrypt. There is lots of software available, but TrueCrypt is Free, comprehensive, multi-platform and easy to use. but backup with TrueCrypt is not good idea so for backup there you better use Norton Ghost. Where TrueCrypt provides truly encryption solution so for more details see http://www.techarena.in/guide/12587-truecrypt-freeware-encryption-program.htm

I agree, TrueCrypt is an amazing tool that other than the simple fact of leaving some traces behind, is nearly impossible to crack. Considering 64bit and 128bit encryptions take a few days to a few weeks to crack(depending on your system). A 256 could take years, but TrueCrypt uses 3 separate 256bit algorithms. Even with Government super computers it would be beyond anybody’s lifetime before it get’s cracked. Just be careful because a lot of standard programs cache files you’ve visited negating the purpose of an encrypted file

TrueCrypt 6.0 now allows full-disk encryption, so you can encrypt the whole operating system in its entirety.

AJ Hall, you need to download a tool called: Tweak UI. That will allow you to hide specific drives.

I’ve been using TrueCrypt for 2 years now. Best encryption utility I’ve found so far. Used it on Windows so far, am about to try it on Linux.

Hey, I’ve been using Truecrypt for years now and find it invaluable to the protection of valuable software. And am still facinated by the mounting of hidden and encrypted devices. I was wondering though if one chooses to format the entire drive, windows recognises this drive as unformatted and requests you to format it if you ever select the device. Is there any way of hiding your drive completly from windows and having only truecrypt recognise it?

I have a 160 Gb external HD used only for storage on the go – 10 gb primary partition and 150 Gb extended partition. If found that I had to change extended partition to primary partition so that TrueCrypt can format the device (150Gb partition) as NTFS. Otherwise, it can only format the extended partition as FAT.

Why is that? Curious.

Thanks for the interesting and helpful article. I guess I’ll be trying TrueCrypt very soon. I see you’ve learned that you will meet all kinds when you take on a project such as this. Never mind the clowns who haven’t yet figured out that it’s much harder to learn a foreign language than to learn manners and proper decorum. (Apparently they failed that manners course, too). You do much better in English than I would do if I tried writing this in your native language.

[...] You might know that I´am using True Crypt for some months now to encrypt and decrypt my entire removable hard disk that has 300 Gb capacity. All happens in realtime and I can´t see and witness any slowdowns so far. I´am able to download content to the drive with 14.2 Mbps and its working like every other hard disk. Yesterday a new True Crypt version was released and it has some amazing new features, let us take a look at some of them: # TrueCrypt volumes can now be created under Linux. # Ability to create a ‘dynamic’ container whose physical size (actual disk space used) grows as new data is added to it. # It is now possible to mount a single TrueCrypt volume from multiple operating systems at once [...]
