The natural successor to TrueCrypt (unless the guys at TCNext can come up with something better) is VeraCrypt. The (French) developer took TrueCrypt's code and fixed the weaknesses found during the security audit performed on TC. The main enhancements and corrections done so far are listed on this post. VeraCrypt's dev is also very active on the TCNext forums with the username IDRIX, and unlike the devs of TC, who never revealed their identities, he isn't afraid to reveal his real name, picture and personal info. On this topic, he answers lots of questions related to VeraCrypt. The second free and open source alternative I'd recommend is DiskCryptor. It's main drawback is that, unlike TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt, it's only available for Windows. Also, it's developed by anonymous Russians, so there's that. This is a convincing argument to give VeraCrypt a try. Thanks. +++ Just note that VeraCrypt doesn't support TrueCrypt volumes. If you have stuff encrypted with TC, decrypt it before using VeraCrypt. Here is IDRIX's explanation for the incompatibility: Since 2013, we choose to enhance the key derivation because the TrueCrypt approach doesn't offer the same security as in 2004 when it was released. This explains why TrueCrypt containers can't be supported anymore in VeraCrypt (a conversion tool is planned).
Other than that, VeraCrypt should work just like TrueCrypt. |

 Seals are raping penguins and scientists don't know whyhttp://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2014/11/14/seals-behaving-badly<< This recent phenomenon has been observed among young Antarctic fur seals on Marion Island in the South Atlantic. They are targeting king penguins. In a newly published research paper, a South African research team - Ryan Reisinger, William Haddah, Tristan Scott, Marthán Bester and Nico de Bruyn - documented three incidents of seals on the island sexually assaulting penguins. There have been other recorded incidents over the last 30 years. >> |

 Obama's Net Neutrality Statement: What it Really Meanshttp://www.tomsguide.com/us/obama-net-neutrality-statement-meaning,news-19895.html<< After years of general statements encouraging net neutrality - the idea that Internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all Internet traffic equally - President Barack Obama today (Nov. 10) came out definitively in favor of the cause, in both written and video statements. Is this a toothless pronunciation by a second-term president whose party just lost control of the Senate? Or does he have solid legal rationale and authority to back up what he said? It may be a little of both. >> |
