Is TrueCrypt actually safe? I haven't used it in years.

LVM + LUKS you idiot

ext4 has native encryption nowadays

>>62020123

holy shit i read that and that is the worst password advice ever

What the fuck are you talking about?

I'd still trust TC over that any day.

It's good advice. If you suppose that you only pick words from a dictionary of the top 20,000 most common English words, and you use four words, that's 1.6 * 10^17 possibilities. That's enough to stop a dictionary attack right now, right?

i use randomly generated passwords varying from 12 to 18 characters which includes upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. keeps the taiwanese out

TC has documented exploits and is no longer supported.These 2 exploits are patched in veracrypt
You can fucking google to find it out

>>62020331
I'm not sure I understand. I thought ext4 was a filesystem, not a form of encryption.

>>62020301
this is not correct anymore
dictionary attacks easily find anything that even resembles w0rds

>>62022309
1 - You need to know if the user is using words.
2 - Maybe there's mixed foregn words, english isn't the only language.
3 - A lot of possibilities, random separators.

Nope.
Also dictionaries are used to guess easy and popular passwords / combinations.

>>62022450
This.
Fucking retards are assuming they know a thing about the password they are trying to brute force.

You don't know if it is 20 characters or 20 million.
You literally cannot assume a single thing about it.
Dictionary attacks are only feasible on common passwords and word mangling.
They'll procedurally brute-force all kinds of systems like leet-speak, syllable switching, using common numbers for spaces, or symbols, etc.
Beyond that, they are fucked. It's back to brute-force.
If you use full-unicode, the search space is double digit universe ages as of now.
So, in other words, NOT fucking happening.
Your memes and stallman pictures are safe.

Length is your only ally in passwords.
The longer it is for encryption, the better.
A key file can also help and is preferable. Bonus points if you procedurally generate said key file in RAM whenever you need it.
With a key file, you could easily use "penis" as the password.

Yes, its safe enough to keep your mom and dad out from your trap porn collection.

>>62020123
It ISN'T safe, please use VeraCrypt instead.

>documented exploits
> t. low T shill for NSA botnet encryption

I'll stick with TC until I see some actual proof from someone other than the israeli lobby.

I never understood the key file meme. It's a specific file or what?
