Rumour has it that the private key has been compromised.
|
|
|
|
|
Which private key? This is an open source product. The private key is generated each time by the end user by dragging the mouse randomly.

Hi,
He probably means private key from the code signing certificate[^] used to sign the device driver.

TruCrypt is a very noisy program as far as the crumbs of its use it leaves on the system.
So those that think no one will know they are using will be disappointed.
Reading the article I’m not sure what the retirement of XP has to do with it all they have to do is, not support its use on XP either.
Perhaps there was a bug they were not able to fix that a full code review would possibly locate.
I have not dug into it deep enough to find out for myself.

There's a shortcut on the desktop that gives away the fact that it is installed.

Well you would need to do 2 things to "help" it be more secure. (unless ofcourse there is a hidden backdoor  )
1: Disable hybernation, reboot and "Secure delete" the hyberfile.sys file that keeps a memory snapshot.
2: after using TruCrypt reboot the system so that the information to decrypt it is not still in memory.

I think the point they are making is that if you can compromise the OS, you can probably circumvent the decryption. Since XP is no longer supported, as new exploits are discovered, the OS won't be patched, and over time, the security of the system will be compromised.

I guess it's just me; I tend to think of software, networks and security in terms of SECURE and UNSECURE.
My girlfriend? She's what I call INSECURE.

....washes up on the beach of an island and is immediately surrounded by a group of native warriors.
"I'm done for", the man cries in despair.
"No you are not," comes a booming voice from the heavens.
"Listen carefully, and do exactly as I say. Grab the spear from the one who is beside you and
shove it through the heart of the chief."
The man does so, and the remainder of the band stare in disbelief.
"Now, what?" the man asks the heavens.
"Now, you are done for."

Can't say all lawyers because my brother is a lawyer, one of the few honest and caring ones I know.

A beautiful young lady is shipwrecked on a tropical isle and is dragged ashore by a cannibal and his young son.
"We're not going to be hungry tonight" said the cannibal to his son.
"Are we going to eat her, dad?" said the son.
"No lad, we're going to eat your mother!"

An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, "What is this Father?"
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is"
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat, old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out.
The father said quietly to his son....."Go get your mother."

I'm pretty sure (read: almost entirely certain) I heard this one from you originally. Seeing it again has reminded me of all the laughs I've received when retelling it.

Yeah it probably was me but I'm old and I forget a lot. For instance...???

Sorry, what were we talking about again? 
Nah, seriously though - I've given and received much joy sharing jokes from both you and Espen. Many thanks.

Your welcome, I think both Espen and I TRY to keep the quality and uniqueness fresh but sometimes we slip.

ok, Yesterday someone asked about statistics packages and programming languages.
In my experience that has been heavily and I mean heavily tied to reporting. Or pushed to create reports.
In my own opinion about things and how things work.
Excel Probably #1 used, Easiest for the end user to get a handle on, Works 80% of the time for what needs to be delivered.
SSRS - My personal favorite, You can do pretty much anything and get a pretty report to hand to people that you can reproduce time and time again with little effort by the programmer, Has not been updated in forever. In serious need of some TLC from MS.
SAS - more statistical than anything, I have watched many companies try to force this to be a reporting tool to produce pretty reports rather than using it as a data number cruncher that the program is designed to be used for. It does work though and once you get the hang of using it, getting information is pretty easy you just proc it.
SPSS - See SAS. LOL
Information Builders(WebFocus) - THE WORST and most horrible package I have ever had to deal with, bad documentation, expensive as all get out, Just the worst reporting package that I have ever had to deal with, I have been very involved with watching two organizations just implode from this package producing horrible data results in a bad time frame. Run away if you ever encounter this package.
So I know there are more packages out there. What other ones should we check out that might be awesomer than SSRS and Excel.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

I've been using Crystal Reports for about 15 years. I'm sure there are better packages out there, but it has been adequate for our needs. Frustrating at times, but adequate.
