TrueCrypt
I have used several encryption programs in order to provide security of my important files. I’ve never tried to use Truecrypt, although I heard lots of times. Today, I’ve found a chance to install and try it. I have to say that I am impressed.
The biggest problem for me while I was using other stuff was the dependence of Operation System Platforms. I want to see all of my secure docs from every kind of OS. This is extremely important. Because, even I am feeling as a penguen, I have to use also Microsoft products as a System and Security, also Penetration Test Engineer.
Other problem is that there is a process of Ecrypt/Decrypt in manually. This makes me tired while i am working several docs that have to be secured.
Truecrypt is a software used real-time "on the fly encryption" methodology. You can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and either individual partitions or an entire storage.
It is an Open Source project and runs under GNU Linux, Mac OS and also Microsoft Windows. Thats why, you can work with all of your encrypted files from these operating systems.
You just create an encrypted zone, and then paste your files in it. The software works real time "on the fly encryption" as i told you before, so Truecrypt runs quietly at the background and can encode the file when you work with it. You don’t need to use any specific command or process to encrypt the files. This is pretty nice.
There is a two options about the filesystem, FAT and NONE. If you are using GNU Linux and want to use your encrypted zone as a EXT3, you have to do extra work.
We can divide our works into two main part with stuff from console and from GUI of software. The first and main part is GUI. You use GUI when you create a new encrypted zone. While you are creating it, you will see the two options for the filesystem. Select your zone as a FAT firstly and click next button and create the zone. After that mount it with GUI. However, do not close the GUI. Now, open a console, format your zone as a EXT3 via using mkfs.ext3 command. Then remount your zone on the GUI. You can check it whether it is EXT3 or not with mount command.
If you give importance to your privacy, I recommend you to use truecrypt. It is a very easy way to protect the personal files from all common Operating System without doing any specific stuff or using any specific command.
