RE: V for VeraCrypt - Encryption On the Fly
If you use the hidden volume type and someone changes something in the base directory of the hidden volume it could damage the encrypted files.
Also if you have ubuntu or kali encrypting your full hard disk can be easily done in the installation it is not as efficient as Veracrypt i think... But it has the ability to overwrite all data to prevent metadata leaks.
Great Post!! Upvoted....
(one other thing you shouldn't use tor anything other than recon or information gathering since your info or files or anything you send or receive could be compromised if someone owns a certain number of relays they will track you down.... Vpn's on the otherhand you are relying on the company who hosts it)
Great points thanks for taking the time to comment.
Yeah, I don't recommend encrypting or partitioning a drive in this post. Basically, I just wanted to introduce people to VC and how it can be used for encrypting relatively small amounts of data.
Good points on the VPNs, and I agree that using TOR for recon is how it is best used.
The thing with VPNs though is sometimes people live in countries where the government blocks a lot of websites, and also desire to download files or info that they are prevented from accessing. So, in this case i recommend people to pay for a VPN as they can download with P2P. Of course, you are correct that the companies are tracking our activity, so it is up to us to do our homework and find reputable VPN providers.
No problem your post is great and i had never found a person that shared the same interest that i do in technology just followed for more :)
And if you country blocks websites there is also the possibility to install securityKiss VPN for free in ubuntu since it's a community VPN of course a paid one will be more faster more encrypted and of course depending on the company more "secure" but there are some great free alternatives out there or just bridge a connection into tor altough tor isn't as much secure and is also slower but with a bridge fewer people will be able to notice you're using it.
