Software - Relying on Truecrypt? Dannyboy - 11.04.2007, 05:30 Uhr Titel: Relying on Truecrypt?
Hi guys,
what I wanna do now is checking the reliability of truecrypt algorithms, even though there are lots of theories telling us they are _almost_ safe.
I put a small encrypted image (jpg) on my server, I guess it's an image you already know. Anyway, what I want you to do is downloading my jpg, trying to decrypt it and telling me what you can see looking at the image.
Hints:
- Image is in jpg-format and encrypted by Truecrypt
- I won't tell you which hash- and crypto-algorithm I used for encryption unless it's necessary!
- No keyfiles were used
- No hidden volumes were used
- Volumesize approx. 1 MB
- Jpg-Size decrypted approx. 90 KB
- Password length: 5 characters (containing chars, digits, symbols)
My entire datapartition is encrypted by Truecrypt, so I wanna know now if it's save or not!
Greetz
DANNY

Hm, write in english here or re-post this in the german forum. Are you usually in the Sidux forum where you have to scroll down for the german forums?

Hi Crest,
sorry. Seems like I was too tired to see the difference between "Software" and "Anwendungen", because German people usually use both words for the same thing in German. I will translate my posting right now. ...
