<description><![CDATA[With regard to giovanni, modern encryption methods are VERY strong. If you use say a 30 digit password including non-letter characters and non-dictionary words/ letter combinations, plus a triple encryption method and a long random character generator, a super computer (ie one of the fastest computers in the world)  might take several thousand years or more!!!! to brute force crack the encryption! 

You can be sure the encryption is safe! However, some countries laws FORCE revealing a password if 'requested' by a government agency.

Truecrypt allows the creation of a hidden partition within an encrypted partition, of which no proof can be provided by an external agency that such a 'partition' exists. This allows revealing the primary partion password, but allowing a hidden partition password to NOT be revealed, since 'they' would NOT be able to produce any evidence that you had created such a 'hidden' partition!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Truecrypt does allow individual files to be encrypted, it's one of the three options ie encrypt file, encrypt partition/ drive  and encrypt system partition/ drive. It's also the safest option for beginners. 

Today's GAOTD has quite a complicated user interface and could cause inadvertent very serious problems if misapplied. As with any encryption program read all the documentation before attempting ANY encryption. There is a web version of the help file at their website. It is well advised to practice on backup copies of unsensitive files before trying it on any valuable files. If you use a keyfile, back it up on online storage or a spare USB pen drive. If you forget a password, the file is UNRECOVERABLE. Use on this basis! 

If you live in the UK and your computer is seized, failing to reveal the password gets an automatic 2 year prison/ jail sentence; saying you have forgotten a password is not an excuse. Write it down or store it as a text file somewhere you can remember!

If you encrypt a whole drive or a system drive and lose a keyfile or forget a password, the ONLY option is to format the drive with a loss of all data on the drive.]]></description>

"One thing I cannot stress enough however is the backup of security keys. Should you have to format your computer some files can be rendered unusable!"

Jason Carver 


This is actually not true with regard to this software!!

On Softsea website, where this program got 5 STARS out of 5 (no bad, is it??), the reviewer wrote that this tool has a feature that provides an executable copy of the program on an external storage medium (e. g. USB stick).


And besides that, among other features, it also includes an Anti-Keylogger function that chops up the password input and the use of image objects for cryptic password sequences.

So, given these features, it seems to me that it's very difficult to find a way to crack the password protected zip file, even if your PC is infected by a bloody keylogger...LOL!


That said, I was wondering whether password encrypted Zip files, such as the ones protected by this SW, can be cracked or not by zip crackers like "fcrackzip" (Open Source) or others similar tools that use brute force or dictionary based attacks.

Does anybody know that??]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@19: I think it's just their tendency to have their company name all lowercase and their product name all uppercase that makes it confusing. I guess the developer don't think anyone will still remember BASIC the programming language... or they just started using this naming convention and didn't bother to change it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I like the idea of zip and encrypt. There is yet another freeware alternative to today's giveaway -- 7Zip. I use this to encrypt my password list, and then email it to my gmail account. Since I've violated one of the cardinal rules (Don't write passwords down), the least I could do was encrypt the file!]]></description>
